Dr. Kidero has been on the headlines since his home was raided by EACC detectives who are investigating his source of wealth which has also seen his wife intertwined in the probe.
In an affidavit filed in a Nairobi court, Susan faulted EACC’s manner of handling her.
“The commission has treated me as though I am an appendage, extension of a property to Kidero, yet I am a separate legal entity and person entitled to own property without attachment to Kidero. These acquisitions are my personal properties which cannot be associated with Kidero,” read part of her affidavit.
According to her, the EACC seized her documents and other personal items which are not related to her husband during their raid in their home adding that some of the items being probed are things she acquired even before she married Kidero seven years ago.
Some of the documents unlawfully seized from Susan by the commission include her will, personal income records, investment mortgage documents and ongoing transactions.
“These documents and items are of a very personal and confidential nature and it is very prejudicial to me that the same were seized and continue being held by the commission notwithstanding the order for their immediate release to me,” she lamented.
She now says that there can be no justification in the commission’s seizure of documents and items that are personal to her and not related to Kidero or the investigations being conducted against him adding that the invasion into her privacy is a gross violation of her rights.
She says the commission’s continued invasion into her privacy for the sole reason that she is Kidero’s wife continues a gross violation of her rights.
On November 6, Anti-corruption High court Judge Hedwig Ong’undi issued an order directing “that any searched and seized properties which the commission has already found to be unrelated to the matter at hand must be released forthwith within the next 72 hours.
In a fresh application, Kidero now claims that the commission has not fully complied with the order issued in court and its conduct demonstrates that it is likely to continue in the non-compliance with the order.
“The commission did not release documents and items unrelated to its investigations in particular, those seized from Susan and those seized from me but which have no relevance to the investigations claimed to be undertaken,” he said.
Do you think Susan Mboya should also be investigated as the wife of a suspect or is that invasion of her privacy?
