On May 10, 2020, Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji approved graft charges against Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Finance Manager Patrick Wambugu Nyoike and several others.
The charges stem from an investigation by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) into irregular payments worth Sh214.5 million made to Nyali Capital Limited (NLC) between October 2014 and March 2017.
Nyoike allegedly approved the payments, which benefited his wife Jacinta Wanjiku Wambugu, who worked at NLC, and his brother Alfred Hinga Nyoike, who was the General Manager and director at NLC.
Others set to face charges include Isaac Obunga, a KPA clerical officer, and directors Jacinta Wanjiku, Alfred Nyoike, and Peter Kinyanjui.
The five will face charges ranging from conspiracy to commit an offence of corruption and abuse of office, as well as failure to disclose private interest and dealing with suspect property.
