In an interesting twist to his graft allegations, Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal was on Tuesday morning arrested over the loss of over Ksh.84 million public funds.

He was taken to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) headquarters for questioning on Tuesday morning.

“During the priod in question, Oryx Service Station received a total of Ksh.84,695,996.55 from the County Government. The aforesaid amount was shared between the Governor and his proxy Hesbon Ndathi (a businessman),” a statement from the Director of Public Prosecution reads.

According to the DPP, the Governor failed to disclose his interest in the service station.

Lenolkulal and 13 other Samburu County officers will be charged with conspiracy to commit economic crimes, abuse of office and conflict of interest.

His deputy Julius Leseeto, Stephen Letinina (county secretary), Danile Lenolkirina (Chief Finance Officer), Josephine Lenasalia (former Chief Officer Environment) and Reuben Lemunyete (Chief Officer Agriculture) are among those who will be arraigned.

Others are Linus Lenolngeje, Paul Lolmingani, Bernard Lesurmat, Lilian Baluga, Andrew Lanyasunya, David Loosenge, Geoffrey Kitewan and Hesbon Ndathi.

Governor Lenolkulal has been under investigation since his February 20 arrest that followed a raid on his homes.

EACC also obtained court orders freezing properties belonging to the governor among them four pieces of land in Karen, Nairobi.

They are part of six parcels that are said to have been acquired by the governor at a price of Ksh.15 million each.

The governor has since been blocked from transacting using the four properties to allow EACC complete investigations.
