The former director of political affairs for Taita Taveta County, Geoffrey Kimonge Mbogo, has been arraigned in court over allegations of fraudulently obtaining public funds and failing to account for more than 12 million shillings during his tenure.
According to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), investigations revealed that Mbogo claimed funds for activities that never took place, thereby causing a financial loss to the county government.
The court released him on a cash bail of 1 million shillings or a bond of 2 million shillings. He was also ordered to surrender his passport to the court and is prohibited from leaving the country without the court’s permission.
The case is scheduled for mention on July 1st this year for further directions before the main hearing begins.
