EACC Clarifies Raiding Home of Senior Nairobi Police Officer

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has dismissed claims that the agency raided the home of Nairobi Traffic Commandant Joseph Chirchir. 

In an update on Tuesday, June 3, the EACC dismissed the reports as fake and urged the public to ignore the misleading information.  

Meanwhile, EACC confirmed the arrest of three Trans Nzoia County officials for obstructing EACC officers while executing a lawful court order.

In a statement on Tuesday, EACC said the three were arrested by Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives in liaison with police officers from the Integrity Police Station.

“The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in liaison with Police Officers from the Integrity Police Station have today, 3rd June 2025, arrested senior public officials from the County Government of Trans Nzoia for obstructing EACC officers while executing a lawful court order,” read part of the statement.

The three include Bernard Muganda (former MCA, Motosiet Ward), John Chigi Makhanu (MCA, Sinyerere Ward), and Frank Kuyala Wabwire (Governor’s protocol officer).

Chigi and Wanjala were arrested on Tuesday outside the Milimani Law Courts and forcefully bundled into a vehicle.

According to EACC, the trio incited members of the public against EACC officials when they raided Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya’s residence in Kitale on May 19.

The agency disclosed that 24 other suspects linked to the incident have so far been arrested and charged with various offences at Kitale Law Courts.
