Former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati presented himself at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) headquarters in Nairobi for grilling over corruption-related allegations.

He appeared before the EACC on Monday September 1, 2025 for processing ahead of his arraignment in court.

This was after the Commission received consent from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to charge him alongside several associates and company directors linked to his case.

Wangamati is accused of embezzling public funds during his tenure as Bungoma County Governor.

He will be charged together with ten individuals, including relatives and associates linked to various construction and supply firms, alleged to have benefited from the fraudulent scheme.

The ODPP accuses Wangamati and his officials of embezzling over Ksh.70 million through tenders.

Meanwhile, Governor Barchok is also expected to avail himself at the commission’s headquarters to respond to graft allegations.

Barchok and Evans Kipkoech Korir, a director of Chemasus Construction Limited, are facing allegations of conflict of interest in procurement dealings at the County Government of Bomet.

The ODPP says that Governor Barchok and Korir were ordered to appear in court to answer charges of conflict of interest and unlawful property acquisition through county contracts worth Ksh.2.75 million.
