Former Migori Governor Okoth Obado is set to have corruption charges against him withdrawn after agreeing to forfeit assets valued at KSh 235 million. This development follows a plea bargain with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) regarding the alleged misappropriation of KSh 73.4 million between 2013 and 2017.

• KSh 235 million in assets will be forfeited, including eight parcels of land and two Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles.
• The plea bargain involves Okoth Obado and 17 co-accused persons.
• The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has stated it did not sign or review the plea bargain before it was filed, arguing this undermined their dispute resolution framework.
