Nairobi Governor Dr Evans Kidero has issued an ultimatum to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in order for his bank accounts to be investigated.
The Governor stated that his bank accounts will only be scrutinised if the commission was specific on the period that they would focus their investigations on.
“I will only allow EACC to access my bank accounts only if it specifies the period for which it wants to scrutinise them,” Kidero wrote on his twitter handle.
The capital's Governor added that it would be unfair to investigate accounts that he has held for decades on matters that do not backdate to such a period.
“I have had the accounts for 33 years. You can't scrutinise an account from 1983 to 2016. Let EACC say the period for which they want them,” explained the Nairobi Governor.
The embattled Governor successfully stopped the EACC from looking into his seven bank accounts, some jointly held with his wife, after the Makadara Court halted the inquiry last month.
The anti-graft investigators are seeking to find out whether Dr Kidero's bank accounts were used in massive transfer of cash and withdrawals fraudulently.
Most of the accounts are alleged to have been used to withdraw Sh 200 Million, which was used to bribe Supreme Court Judge Philip Tunoi, for him to favour the Governor in an election petition filed by Kabete MP Ferdinad Waititu.
Besides, EACC are also investigating money laundering transactions, which include misappropriation of public funds at the City Hall also alleged to have been carried out using the Governor's accounts.
