East Africa Community and Northern Corridor Cabinet Secretary (CS) PeterMunya is set to be investigated.
This is after the Court of Appeal gave Ethics andAnti-Corruption Commission (EACC) consent to investigate him.
CS Munya will be investigated on alleged procurement malpractices that took placeduring his tenure as the Meru County boss.
A three-judge bench quashed the appeal by Meru County Government seeking to stop the invetigations.
The judges argued that the Meru County Government had no capacity to lodge a case for violation of rights with regard toitself.
In the appeal, Munya sought to overturn a 2014 ruling in favour of EACC claiming that the investigations were politicallymotivated
According to the appeal, Meru County had accused EACC of violating their rights after the seizure of documents from thecounty's procurement department in the course of investigations.
The appellate judges' bench, however, upheld the earlier decision noting that the county could not claim the violation ofrights as would be the case of an individual citizen.
