The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has uncovered widespread corruption in Western Kenya counties, fueled by Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) who demand tenders and jobs under threat of impeachment. The EACC is actively investigating schemes involving governors, executives, and MCAs to misappropriate public funds.

• EACC Western Region Manager Eric Ngumbi confirmed investigations into fraudulent contracts, fake pending bills, and the theft of hospital revenues.
• Six MCAs in one county are under investigation for tenders worth Ksh144.2 million awarded to 40 companies linked to their associates.
• Eight senior officials in another county face probes over Ksh1.4 billion in fraudulent tenders.
