The High Court has extended interim injunction orders in a corruption related civil suit in which the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is seeking to recover Kshs813 million allegedly obtained through corruption by Kiambu Governor Paul Kimani Wamatangi and others.

The matter came up before Justice Hedwig Okwany in the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Division for directions on an application filed by the EACC on November 4, 2026. Justice Okwany sat in place of Justice Musyoki, who is bereaved and therefore not sitting.

The EACC urged the court to extend interim orders barring the defendants from dealing with the disputed assets pending the hearing and determination of the suit. The court allowed the application and extended the injunction orders until March 17, 2026.

During the session, the court directed all parties to exchange written submissions on the injunction application, granting each side 14 days to file and serve their respective submissions. The court further granted parties liberty to file pleadings in response to an application by the first defendant seeking to strike out the suit.

The case will be mentioned on March 17, 2026, before Justice Musyoki for further directions. The court also directed that the extracted orders be served upon all parties.

The EACC has sued Governor Wamatangi and others alleging that the KSh813 million constitutes proceeds of corruption and should be forfeited to the state.
