The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) says it has secured a court order for the forfeiture of assets worth KSh207.74 million linked to former Trans Nzoia County accountant Andrew Biketi Musuya after he failed to satisfactorily explain their source.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 21, the commission said the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Court found that the assets were disproportionate to Musuya’s known legitimate sources of income.
EACC said Lady Justice Rose Ougo delivered the judgment on October 8, ordering the forfeiture of KSh207,741,928 to the Government of Kenya.
Musuya previously worked as an accountant at the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation and the Trans Nzoia County Government.
According to the commission, the assets covered by the order include properties in Mombasa and Bungoma valued at KSh150.2 million, bank and M-Pesa deposits amounting to KSh53.53 million, and two motor vehicles worth KSh4 million.
The properties comprise two five-storey apartment blocks in Mtwapa, Kilifi County, a five-bedroom townhouse in the same area, and seven undeveloped parcels of land in Mombasa and Bungoma counties.
EACC said investigations established that Musuya accumulated assets worth KSh289.93 million between January 1, 2013, and October 31, 2018. The commission listed the assets as bank and M-Pesa deposits totalling KSh53,532,910, landed properties valued at approximately KSh228.8 million, and motor vehicles worth KSh9.6 million.
The commission subsequently instituted proceedings under Section 55 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, seeking recovery of wealth it considered disproportionate to Musuya’s known legitimate income.
EACC said it initially sought forfeiture of assets valued at KSh284,087,641, arguing that Musuya had failed to satisfactorily explain how he acquired the wealth. The court ultimately ordered forfeiture of KSh207,741,928, according to the commission’s statement.
The case has been before the courts for several years. In September 2026, judgment was scheduled in a suit involving Musuya and five others, in which EACC was seeking forfeiture of approximately KSh283 million in unexplained wealth, also in August 2019, when the commission was pursuing recovery of KSh284,087,664 and properties worth millions of shillings.
At the time, EACC argued that Musuya’s wealth did not correspond with his known income.
The proceedings fall under Section 55 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, which provides a legal mechanism for recovering unexplained assets where a person fails to satisfactorily account for wealth disproportionate to their known legitimate sources of income.
The commission said it remained committed to protecting public property and ensuring that public resources are preserved for the benefit of Kenyans.
