Detectives from Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) have arrested Kenya Ports Authority ( KPA) General Manager for Finance Patrick Nyoike,his wife Jacinta Wambugu and a KPA clerical officer Isaack Obunga over irregular payments of Kshs.214 million.
According to a statement by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODDP), it has shown that Mr. Patrick Nyoike allegedly used his power to allocate the money to Nyali Capital Limited, a microfinance business which is run by his wife Jacinta Wanjiku Wambugu who acts as the company’s General Manager along with other directors.
“Indeed, Patrick Wambugu Nyoike facilitated Nyali Capital Limited’s microfinance business to finance the KPA suppliers, Local Purchase Order (LPOs) and Local Service Orders (LSOs) and thereafter used the KPA system to have the principal and the interest from the said suppliers remitted to Nyali Capital Limited’s account by the KPA,” the statement read.
According to the ODPP, Nyali Capital Limited acted as a vendor in the KPA portal which indicates a conflict of interest and also a break of the codes and conducts.
“This demonstrates a conflict of interest on the part of Patrick Wambugu Nyoike, the General Manager Finance at KPA,” the ODPP’s statement adds.
Probing Mr. Wanyoike started Last year when the anti-graft detectives raided his house under probe of siphoning millions from the company to a private developer.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) then, claimed they were working on a tip-off suggesting that a sum of Sh241 million were moved from the company to an individual close to Mr. Patrick Wambugu Nyoike.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
