The court has extended preservation orders allowing the anti-corruption agency to seize wealth worth Sh1.2 billion belonging to a top official at the Ministry of Lands.
In the orders issued by Justice Esther Maina, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has been allowed to seize the assets of Nicholas Owino Ochiel, a senior assistant director of valuation at the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. Among the frozen assets is Mr Ochiel’s Sh80 million Karen home and other multimillion-shilling properties spread across the country.
