On Thursday, police in Eldoret made a significant seizure of over Sh100 million in fake local and foreign currencies from a palatial house in the Elgon View Estate.
The house, owned by Peter Sitati, a politician who contested for the Webuye West parliamentary seat in the 2017 election, was raided after a woman filed a complaint alleging that Mr. Sitati had conned her Sh600,000.
According to police, the fake currency seized was in the form of Kenyan shillings, Euros, and United States dollars.
The caretaker of the house was arrested during the raid, and police are now looking for Mr. Sitati and his female accomplice, who are still at large, as investigations into the matter continue.
