EACC Officers Raid Natembeya’s Kitale Home

Armed police officers raided Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya’s Milimani home in Kitale on Monday morning, prompting drama at the residence.
The officers were backing Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) officers from Nairobi who had arrived for a search.
Sources said they were armed with a warrant and wanted to search the house and interrogate Natembeya.
A crowd gathered outside the compound, prompting police to disperse them.
The raid came a day after a number of opposition leaders said they were aware of plans to arrest Natembeya.
Natembeya has been a top critic of the government, which many see as the motive behind the raid.
Details of the EACC probe were scanty, but officials said he is under investigation.
DAP-K party had earlier posted a message on its social media about the incident.
The party said they were aware of the planned raid.
“A heavy contingent of police officers in plain clothes, well-masked, have gained access to Governor George Natembeya’s Milimani home in Kitale. Such Moi tactics won’t work in current times. Stop using security apparatus to settle political scores,” the party stated.
It added that the weaponisation of independent offices to frustrate and humiliate those with alternative political stands shall be met with full resistance by the people.
“The plans to arrest DPL Governor George Natembeya over his people-centric stance under TAWE shall not be allowed,” the post added.
