Former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati presented himself before the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on Monday, following a summons issued last week.
Wangamati, who arrived at the Integrity Centre around 8 a.m. accompanied by his lawyers, is among several individuals facing arraignment over corruption-related charges. He is accused alongside 11 others of alleged irregular use of public funds during his administration.
Those listed in the case include Michael Simiyu Wangamati, Nicholas Wangamati, Edward Barasa Wangamati, and Edward Maaya Makhanu, all identified as directors of companies under investigation.
Others summoned are Sandra Soita Nasambu, Wafula Wakoli Chesititi, Bramwel Mukewe Wafula, Juma Swaleh Juma, Jimmy Wekesa Barasa, Christopher Masika Makokha, and Joseph Wanyonyi Khaemba.

They are alleged to have ties to firms implicated in questionable transactions with the Bungoma County Government.
Separately, Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok has also been summoned to answer corruption-related charges, including an alleged conflict of interest involving Evans Kipkoech Korir, director of Chemasus Construction Limited.
In a statement, EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud confirmed that the Commission received consent from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on August 29, 2025, to proceed with charges against the two governors and their associates.
The summons come after months of investigations into procurement processes, conflict of interest claims, and alleged misuse of county funds.
According to the DPP, the approvals are part of a wider crackdown on corruption at both national and county levels. The EACC recently disclosed that at least four sitting governors and 11 former governors are under investigation for graft.
EACC CEO Mohamud added that in the past eight months, the agency has completed 89 high-profile investigations, forwarding 82 files to the DPP with recommendations for prosecution. These cases involve senior officials, including current and former governors, two former Cabinet Secretaries, a Principal Secretary, and executives of state corporations.
“The Commission is also at an advanced stage of investigating five sitting Governors and 11 former Governors,” Mohamud noted.
