Former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati has been released on a bond of Ksh5 million or a cash bail of Ksh1.5 million by the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court. He faces graft allegations stemming from an alleged embezzlement of over Ksh70 million involving private companies when he was in office.

• Wangamati was arraigned on charges including conflict of interest and wilful failure to comply with procurement laws.
• The case mention and determination are scheduled for September 18.
• Wangamati, who served from 2017 to 2022, denies all four charges, claiming they are politically motivated.
• Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok is also set to face similar graft-related charges before the same magistrate.
