Finance Manager Patrick Nyoike has been arrested over irregular payment of
Sh214 million to company closely associated with his family, Nyali Capital
Ltd. The Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji already approved the charges.
The arrest comes after a press
statement from the DPP stating that EACC had been investigating claims that KPA
paid Sh214, 548, 340.80 to Nyali Capital Ltd (NCL), which is associated with Mr
Nyoike. According to DPP’s statement, the KPA boss had an interest in the company hence this made the payment to raise eyebrows.
“It was further alleged that the
Finance Manager, Patrick Nyoike had interests in Nyali Capital Limited where
his wife Jacinta Wanjiku Wambugu and brother Alfred Hinga Nyoike worked as General
Manager and Director respectively,” DPP reveals. The transactions are reported
to have taken place from October 2014 to March 2017.
After the investigations, the
EACC preferred charges against the KPA boss as per the Anti-corruption and
Economic Crimes Act of 2003. Alongside the KPA boss are four
other persons who have also been singled out for prosecution. They include
Isaac Obunga (Clerical Officer KPA), Jacinta Wambugu (Mr Nyoike’s wife), Alfred
Hinga (NCL Director and Nyoike’s brother), Peter Ndichu Kinyanjui (Director
NCL) and Nyali Capital Ltd.
