EACC Raids NGAAF CEO’s Home Over Unexplained Ksh1 Billion Wealth
On Thursday, January 8, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) stated that it launched a search operation at the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) Chief Executive Officer’s apartment and office in response to suspicions of graft.
The raid was part of an ongoing investigation into claims of bribery, procurement irregularities, and the ownership of unexplained wealth totaling around Ksh1 billion.
“The operation relates to allegations of graft, procurement irregularities, and the acquisition of unexplained wealth estimated at Ksh1 billion, allegedly accumulated between January 1, 2021, and January 8, 2026,” the commission said.
During the operation, the commission revealed that it discovered significant evidence thought to corroborate its investigations into alleged financial irregularities related to the CEO’s term at NGAAF.
EACC has summoned NGAAF CEO Roy Sasaka Telewa to explain allegations that he amassed about Sh1B in unexplained wealth.

The investigation also focuses on procurement violations allegedly committed during his prior employment as Head of Procurement at the Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC).
He has previously held critical positions, including Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Council and Deputy Head of Procurement at Kenya’s Competition Authority.
Following the raid, the EACC summoned the official to the Integrity Centre to record a statement about the alleged unexplained income and probable corruption.
The commission has stated that the statement is part of ongoing investigations that will determine the next steps, which might include prosecution if adequate evidence is discovered.

Additionally, any assets deemed to be linked to corruption or unexplained wealth may be subject to forfeiture under Kenyan law.
The developments come nearly three months after the commission arrested Josphat Kabeabea, the former chair of the Anti-Counterfeit Authority’s Board of Directors.
The raid came amid allegations that he demanded Ksh15 million in bribes in his capacity as the authority’s boss.
Kabeabea had his initial demand for a Ksh5 million bribe declined, according to EACC. He then allegedly reduced it to Ksh1 million, then to Ksh300,000, before finally settling on Ksh150,000.
