The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has raided the home of Nairobi County Chief Officer for Urban Planning, Patrick Analo, in a dramatic early-morning operation linked to an ongoing corruption investigation.
According to reports, EACC detectives conducted the raid on Thursday, June 4, 2026, targeting Analo’s residence in Syokimau, as part of inquiries into alleged financial misconduct within the county administration.
During the operation, investigators recovered large sums of cash suspected to be proceeds of corruption. The exact amount has not yet been officially disclosed, though early indications suggest the money runs into millions of shillings. The cash is currently in the custody of EACC detectives as investigations continue.
Videos circulating on social media show officers packing bundles of cash in thousand-shilling notes into suitcases, including a maroon and a green suitcase, sparking widespread public reaction and renewed scrutiny of corruption within county governments.
The EACC has not yet provided full details on the nature of the allegations facing Analo, but confirmed that the raid forms part of a broader investigation into suspected abuse of office and unexplained wealth linked to procurement and planning operations.
Sources familiar with the probe indicate that detectives are examining financial records, digital devices, and documentation recovered during the search as they seek to establish the origin of the seized funds and possible links to official county transactions.
The development has sent shockwaves through Nairobi County’s urban planning department, where Analo holds a senior role overseeing planning approvals, development control, and related regulatory functions.
Anti-corruption agencies have in recent months intensified enforcement actions targeting senior county officials amid growing concerns over graft, irregular approvals, and procurement irregularities in major urban projects.
Patrick Analo is yet to issue a public statement regarding the raid or the allegations. The investigation remains ongoing, with EACC expected to release further updates as forensic analysis of the recovered materials continues.
The raid adds to a growing list of high-profile anti-corruption operations targeting senior government officials, as pressure mounts on accountability institutions to curb graft within devolved units and public service structures.
This comes months after a petition was filed at the High Court seeking the immediate suspension of Analo as Nairobi County’s Chief Officer for Urban Development and Planning following the deadly collapse of a 14-storey building in South C Estate that claimed two lives.
Patrick Analo Akivaga faced accusations of dereliction of duty for allegedly permitting construction to proceed without mandatory approvals from the county’s building department.
