Embattled Kisumu County Assembly Speaker Ann Adul was Monday
morning arrested by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC)
officials over graft claims.
Ms Adul was arrested at her house in Kisumu.
Also arrested was Leader of Minority Eddy Anayo and clerk Nelco Sagwe.
However, suspended Leader of Majority Samuel Ong’ow escaped arrest.
Ms
Adul is accused of embezzling funds while chairing the assembly’s
public service board together with Mr Ong’ow, Mr Anayo and Mr Sagwe.
The four leaders are also accused of influencing tendering processes and getting kickbacks from contractors.
Ms Adul is currently fighting an impeachment case filed against her by members of the assembly.
Mr
Ong’ow is also awaiting the outcome of an ODM disciplinary committee
investigation on his conduct and that of his deputy John Olum over
allegations of abuse of office.
