The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is investigating a case in Kisumu County Assembly where 48 chairs allegedly cost Ksh 240,000 each.
Kisumu residents and a section of MCAs protested last year due to the Ksh 11.5 million that the County had used on the chairs.
EACC drafted a letter to the clerk of the County Assembly summoning officers associated with the procurement process.
The anti-corruption agency wants to know how the chairs were acquired and whether the right process was followed in purchasing them.
According to a report by People Daily, the EACC has written to Kodiaga Prison which is said to have been awarded the tender for the chairs, to disclose information on the tendering process.
Kisumu County Assembly Speaker, Onyango Oloo, stated the seats were purchased through the government to government procurement system and the process was above board.
This comes a day after the EACC and Director of Public Prosecutions, Noordin Haji, stated they are in the process of reclaiming property obtained through corruption.
They stated this in an event held on Tuesday to return land belonging to the University of Nairobi that had been grabbed by a private company.
Other public assets that have been retrieved so far include; Ukunda Airstrip, Uhuru Gardens in Mombasa and the Mayor’s House in Lavington, Nairobi.
The EACC added that there are many pending cases in court that focus on reclaiming property amounting to Ksh12 billion.
