The Ethics and Anti-graft Commission (EACC) on Tuesday raided the home and offices of Laikipia County Assembly Speaker Lantano Nabaala in connection with allegations of academic forgery. This operation started at his Nairobi residence before moving to the county assembly headquarters in Nanyuki, with Nabaala having been under investigation for over a year.

• The raids aim to gather evidence and verify claims that Speaker Nabaala forged his academic qualifications to secure his position.
• According to EACC Central Region boss Japheth Baithalu, Nabaala has been on the agency's radar for over one year due to these allegations.
• This development follows an EACC announcement that nine county governors are currently under investigation for graft, with the agency also raiding Busia County offices last week concerning a Ksh1.4 billion tender investigation.
