The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission wants assets belonging to three governors and their associates frozen.

EACC believes governors Mwangi wa Iria (Murang’a), Dr Evans Kidero (Nairobi) and Okoth Obado (Migori) have amassed wealth in a questionable manner in the four and half years they have been in office.
Detectives say the county bosses registered properties in the name of their proxies who were also given lucrative tenders.
