The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is probing the county government of Nairobi over corruption claims.
On Friday, EACC summoned the entire cabinet of Governor Mike Sonko as the sleuths seek to find records of the expenditures in different dockets.
In a letter dated November 15, 2019, five other officials from the county government are also expected to record their statements with the detectives over the operations of the county government.
"Further kindly inform and facilitate the release of the following county officials who have served or are still serving in these positions for an interview and statement recording at our offices located at Integrity center, Nairobi," reads the letter, as seen by The Star.
The summoned officials are Leboo Ole Morintat (deputy county secretary), Peter Mugo (chief of staff), Samwel Kinyanjui (County Secretary of Nairobi) and Joyce Kinyanjui (head of CEC secretariat).
