Migori Governor Okoth Obado has been arraigned in Court to answer to charges of alleged embezzlement of over Ksh 73 million public funds.

Obado was arrested Wednesday morning after surrendering to Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission detectives in Kisii.

The funds are said to have been channeled to the bank accounts of his three children who were studying abroad.

The money trail from the companies revealed that Ksh.38,949,376.90 was wired to accounts held by Governor Obado’s children, namely: Achola Dan Okoth, Susan Scarlet Okoth, and Jerry Zachary Okoth.

Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji on Tuesday approved the arrest and prosecution of Obado and his three children, dealing a staggering blow to the family.
