Two Kenyan governors, Hillary Kipng’eno Barchok of Bomet and former Bungoma governor Wycliffe Wangamati, were arraigned at the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court on Tuesday over graft allegations. They arrived under tight security and were briefly held before facing charges approved by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).

• Wangamati faces 27 charges, including conflict of interest and acquisition of proceeds of crime.

• The investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) uncovered alleged procurement fraud, conflict of interest, and misuse of public funds.

• The EACC had summoned over 10 co-persons of interest linked to companies suspected of diverting county funds.
