The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested four suspects as the investigation into procurement fraud in Bungoma County continues.

Bramwel Maelo, Susan M’mboyi, and Wycliffe Makanga, all employees of the Bungoma county government, were among the three suspects.

A fourth suspect, Sandra Soita Nasamabu, a Director of M/s Fastec General Supplies, was arrested in Mombasa and will be escorted to Bungoma, Citizen.Digital understands.

They were taken to the EACC Bungoma Regional Office for processing before being held at the Bungoma police station until their arraignment on Tuesday.

The four were among seven people arrested in connection with the irregular awarding of a contract for the periodic maintenance of Bungoma’s Chebosi-Wanelopi-Kituni Road.

Three other suspects are still at large, including the Director of Fastec General Supplies, Wafula Wakoli Chesititi, George Bifan, and Bungoma county employee Eric Papa Makokha.

Fastec General Supplies Limited, a company with ties to former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati, was awarded the Ksh. 5.7 million contract now under investigation.

The company is said to have backed out of the contentious contracts after the EACC launched an investigation into the alleged payment of funds from county coffers for non-existent work.

Investigators believe Fastec General Supplies Limited used false documents to win the tender, and an audit of the company’s accounts revealed it lacked the financial capacity to carry out the work specified in the tender in question.
