The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has
summoned Garissa Governor Nathif Jama Adam to record a statement in relation to
investigations touching on the management of public funds and staff recruitment
at the county.
In a letter dated August 19, 2025, signed by Paschal K.
Mweu, the EACC Director of Investigations, the Commission indicated that the
inquiry covers the period between October 2022 and June 2024.
The governor has been asked to appear at the Commission’s
Integrity Centre offices in Nairobi on Monday, August 25, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.
for an interview and formal statement recording.
“To facilitate the investigation, kindly avail yourself for
interview and statement recording at our Nairobi Integrity Centre offices
located at Jakaya Kikwete/Valley Road junction on 25th August, 2025 at 10.00
a.m.,” the letter stated.
According to the notice, the session is expected to be
conducted by S. Cherpka, the Assistant Director in charge of Macro
Investigation at the EACC.
The correspondence, copied to the Secretary/Chief Executive
Officer of the Commission, was also stamped as received by the Council of
Governors’ Records Management Office on August 20, 2025.
The Commission did not disclose the specific details of the
inquiry but stressed that the summons forms part of ongoing investigations and
that due process would be observed.
EACC has in the past conducted similar inquiries into
several county governments across the country, often focusing on areas such as
procurement, recruitment, and the handling of devolved funds.
