Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi was interrogated on Monday for hours by anti-graft detectives over suspect expenditure amounting to Sh51 million.
Kingi was grilled over the alleged buying of 11 acres of bus park land in Mtwapa at Sh308 million and the money that was allegedly stolen through IFMIS.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) now wants the Governor to give answers on who authorized the procurement of the 11 acres and the truthfulness of the deal.
Kingi’s County administration has been found in wrong books recently, including the accusation of a huge fraud involving the loss of over Sh 1 billion, that is being blamed on the manipulation of the IFMIS.
Kingi was accompanied by Siaya Senator James Orengo, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho, Kilifi Woman Representative Aisha Jumwa, Migori Member of Parliament Junet Mohammed among other other supporters.
