Gov’t Corners Former Finance Officer, Seizes Millions of Cash and 7 multi-million properties

Gov’t Corners Former Finance Officers, Seizes Millions of Cash and 7 multi-million properties: The Supreme Court has Permited EACC to Seize Sh113.9 Million cash held in Banks and Properties from Former Nairobi County Finance Officer Jimmy Kiamba

The Commission had filed a petition against Kiamba arguing that some of the properties in his possession were acquired illegally.

Kiamba was accused of spreading out the properties to his family members. A five-bench judge consisting of Njoki Susanna Ndung’u, Smokin Wanjala, Isaac Lenaola, William Ouko and Mohamed Khadhar Ibrahim dismissed an appeal he had filed challenging a ruling by the Court of Appeal.

The ruling read,” The Notice of Motion dated 22nd February, 2024 and filed on 4th March 2024, be and is hereby struck out,”

Through its Spokesperson Eric Ngumbi, EACC Welcomed the ruling underdcoring that it filed the recovery suit in the High Court after investigations established that Kiamba was in possession of wealth that was not part of his
known legitimate sources of income and as such, Kiamba could not reasonably have acquired such wealth otherwise than through corrupt conduct.
