Felix-Mecha-Nyakundi, Land registrar possessing wealth in question

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has secured orders from the High Court to freeze 106 properties and 17 high-end vehicles belonging to Thika land Registrar Felix Mecha Nyakundi.

The Court also granted the commission to seize an additional sum of Ksh4.

2 million ($30,000).

In her ruling, Lady Justice Esther Maina concurred with EACC that unless the preservation orders are granted, the properties may be transferred, sold, charged or otherwise wasted, jeopardizing the intended forfeiture to the Government.

Through its Advocate, Pius Nyoike, EACC told the High Court that Nyakundi has accumulated wealth that needs to be commensurate with his known legitimate sources.

The properties are distributed across several counties, including Nairobi, Machakos, Makueni, Kisii, Makueni, and Kajiado.
