High Court Freezes Governor Wamatangi’s Bank Accounts
The High Court has ordered that Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi, his wife, children, and ten other individuals’ bank accounts be frozen in connection with a Ksh.813 million corruption case.
The orders were granted in response to an application by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), which is examining claims of corruption and unexplained wealth associated with the funds.
The freeze will stay in effect until the hearing and decision on the EACC’s application.
The ruling adds to Wamatangi’s recent difficulties, which include the demolition of his company’s premises near Nairobi’s Nyayo Stadium.
Wamatangi’s premises were vandalized in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
According to witnesses, police officers came to the scene about 12 a.m. and fired teargas canisters and live bullets to disperse crowds and those on duty before the demolition began.

The State Corporation announced intentions to build a railway station near Nyayo National Stadium.
In addition, there will be a railway branch line from Nairobi Central Station through the Nyayo National Stadium region in Kibera to Talanta Sports City Stadium to facilitate transportation during the AFCON event.
The corporation stated that all encroachers of the aforementioned land were given advance notice to evacuate the railway corridor in order to allow for the construction of the station and spur line.
“Kenya Railways is in the process of evicting all encroachers as we repossess all the land that has been identified for the above mentioned development,” read part of the statement.
