    The Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested and six Makueni MCAs over corruption. 

    The six will be arraigned before Makueni Anti-Corruption Court on Tuesday, 31st May, 2022 for fraudulently claiming and receiving Sh175,018.50 each in full per diem for a trip to Dubai which had been privately sponsored.

    The private Dubai trip, which was fully sponsored by the then MP, Hon. Dr. Patrick Musimba, was undertaken from 14/04/2014 to 21/04/2014. 

    Upon return, the MCAs fraudulently claimed and received Sh175,018.50 each as per diem, which they were not entitled to.

    The Six MCAs to be charged in court Tuesday are Timothy Sirei Maneno, Bernard Wambua, Cosmas Mutunga, Bensley Mwania, John Muli and Bernard Muthoka. 

    They will be charged alongside the then Clerk of Assembly, Edward Libendi, who facilitated the illegal payments.
