On Thursday, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) detained Marsabit Senator Mohammed Chute.
While confirming his arrest, EACC Spokesperson Eric Ngumbi revealed that the senator had been transported to the Commission’s headquarters in Nairobi to undergo further interrogation.
The senator was arrested on accusation of his involvement in a multi-million graft within the Marsabit County Government and links to a conflict of interest.
Following his arrest, the anti-graft commission vowed to probe the allegations levelled against the senator and that more details would be provided in due course.
Chute’s arrest comes barely a day after he accompanied President William Ruto during the commissioning of Kimuka Sub-Station in Kajiado.
During his meeting with the Head of State, Chute commended the President for allocating Ksh1 billion for livestock restocking to pastoralists in Marsabit county
