The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has secured court orders to forfeit KSh207.7 million in unexplained wealth belonging to Andrew Biketi Musuya, a former accountant who worked for the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation and the Trans Nzoia County Government.

In a judgment delivered on October 8, 2026, Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Court Judge Rose Ougo ruled that Musuya had failed to satisfactorily explain the disparity between his known legitimate income and the assets he had acquired.

The forfeiture covers properties, bank and M-Pesa deposits, and two motor vehicles valued at a combined KSh207,741,928.

According to the EACC, the assets include two five-storey apartment blocks and a five-bedroom townhouse in Mtwapa, Mombasa County, as well as seven undeveloped parcels of land in Mombasa and Bungoma counties.

The properties are valued at KSh150.2 million, while bank and M-Pesa deposits account for KSh53.5 million. The two motor vehicles are valued at KSh4 million.

EACC investigations established that Musuya accumulated assets worth KSh289.9 million between January 1, 2013, and October 31, 2018.

However, the commission said he was unable to satisfactorily account for KSh207.7 million of the wealth, prompting the court to order its forfeiture to the State under Section 55 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act.

The provision allows the commission to pursue the forfeiture of assets where a person is unable to explain the disproportion between their known legitimate sources of income and the property they have acquired.

The ruling marks another recovery effort by the anti-graft agency targeting assets it considers to be unexplained wealth linked to public officials.
