Court Freezes Nairobi Chief Officer’s Bank Accounts, Assets After Ksh65 Million Recovery
Assets associated with Patrick Analoh, the suspended Nairobi County Chief Officer for Urban Planning, and his spouse have been frozen by court orders obtained by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
This occurs as inquiries into purported corruption and mysterious wealth get more intense.
The High Court prohibited the couple from selling, transferring, leasing, or otherwise dealing with 19 pieces of land, 18 cars, and money kept in a bank account for a period of six months in a decision rendered by Justice Benjamin Musyoki.
The EACC’s application, which informed the court that it is looking into claims of conflict of interest, abuse of office, bribery, and ownership of unexplained assets against the two respondents, led to the orders.
βThe respondents are hereby restrained and/or prohibited from withdrawing, transferring, disposing of, or in any other way dealing with the Government securities/funds worth Ksh23,000 held in account number (withheld) in the name of Patrick Analoh Akivaga,β Justice Musyoki ruled.
βThe respondents are hereby prohibited either through themselves or their agents, servants, or any other person from leasing, charging, alienating, wasting, transferring, disposing of, or in any other way dealing with all or any.β
According to court documents, Akivaga is employed by the Nairobi City County Government, while his wife works for the Vihiga County Government.
EACC alleges the couple accumulated assets that are disproportionate to their known sources of income.
The commission further claimed that some of the properties under investigation were acquired using proceeds of corruption and asked the court to preserve them to prevent their disposal before investigations are completed.
The latest court action comes days after EACC detectives raided Akivaga’s residence in Syokimau, Machakos County, as part of an ongoing probe into alleged corruption and economic crimes within Nairobi County.

During the operation, investigators recovered Ksh51.3 million and US$113,000, bringing the total cash seized to approximately Ksh65.3 million.

Following the raid, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja suspended Akivaga from office and appointed Dominic Mutegi to serve in an acting capacity pending the outcome of investigations.
Sakaja also suspended the Urban Planning Technical Committee and halted the processing of development approvals until the committee is reconstituted, while pledging full cooperation with investigators.
In his ruling, Justice Musyoki said the court was satisfied that EACC had presented sufficient grounds to preserve the assets during investigations.
He also noted that Section 56 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act empowers the court to freeze property suspected to have been acquired through corruption.
The judge ordered that the preservation orders remain in force for six months as investigations continue.
