The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has secured a court order to recover assets worth Ksh207,741,928 from former Trans Nzoia County accountant Andrew Biketi Musuya. 

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has secured a court order to recover assets worth Ksh207,741,928 from former Trans Nzoia County accountant Andrew Biketi Musuya. 

In a statement on Wednesday, October 21, EACC said Lady Justice Rose Ougo issued the order after Musuya failed to satisfactorily explain the source of wealth that was disproportionate to his known legitimate income.

“In a judgment delivered on October 8, 2026, Hon. Lady Justice Rose Ougo of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Court found that Mr. Musuya had failed to satisfactorily explain the disproportion between the assets he acquired and his known legitimate sources of income,” read the statement in part. 

According to EACC, the assets set to be forfeited to the State include prime properties in Mombasa and Bungoma valued at Ksh150,209,000. 

Others include cumulative bank and M-Pesa deposits amounting to Ksh53.5 million and two motor vehicles valued at Ksh4 million.

The commission noted that Musuya accumulated assets worth Ksh289.9 million between January 1, 2013, and October 31, 2018.

The assets comprised bank and M-Pesa deposits totalling Ksh53,532,910, landed properties valued at Ksh226.8 million, and motor vehicles worth Ksh9.6 million.

EACC then moved to court seeking to recover Ksh284,087,664 in assets believed to be disproportionate to Musuya's known legitimate sources of income.

However, the court found that Musuya failed to satisfactorily account for Ksh207,741,928 and ordered the amount to be forfeited to the government.

“The Commission instituted proceedings under Section 55 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act (ACECA) to recover Ksh284,087,664 in assets deemed disproportionate to his known legitimate sources of income, which he could not satisfactorily explain. 

“The Court found that Mr. Musuya had failed to explain the source of Ksh 207,741,928 and ordered the amount to be forfeited to the State,” EACC added. 

This comes weeks after EACC was given a go-ahead to recover Ksh813.1 million from Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi and other defendants.

In a statement on October 2, EACC said that Justice Ougo dismissed five applications by Governor Wamatangi and other defendants seeking to strike out its recovery suit.

The money is linked to alleged irregularities in road tender awards to five companies where the County Boss is said to have held a beneficial interest.

"In her ruling dated 1st October 2026, Justice R. E. Ougo held that the allegations of fraud, misrepresentation and falsification of tender documents require evidence to be tested at a full hearing.

"Whether the company directors can be held personally liable must also be determined through that process," the statement read.
