The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is analysing Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s bank accounts over corruption links.
The commission has now written to Equity bank requesting for bank statements of the first term county boss in relation with Arbab Auto Limited, High Energy Petroleum and ROG Security Limited.
The sleuths have questioned the huge sums of money being wired into Sonko’s accounts.
It emerged that the huge sums of cash used to be wired into his account before he rose to the position of the county boss.
In a letter dated July 29 shows that the commission wants to get information from the bank before proceeding with probe into the matter.
“Pursuant to miscellaneous application warrants no 1422 of 2019 and 2242 of 2019, we acknowledge receipts of the stated bank statements and some transaction documents requested. We further request you to provide us with the original documents for the stated transactions,” said read part of the letter, as seen by Daily Nation.
Sonko has also been asked to come clean on his transactions with Jambo Pay, Amaco Insurance, Hardi Enterprises and Yiro Enterprises.
The detectives suspect that Sonko has been receiving bribes from some of the companies to award the tenders among other forms of favors since he entered politics.
The firms under probe have been associated with Antony Mwaura and Otieno Ombok. The two reportedly wired millions into Sonko’s account under unclear circumstances.
