The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has obtained orders from the High Court to freeze USD 460,000 (Ksh62,100,000) seized from Ibrae Doko Yatani, the nephew of former Treasury cabinet secretary Ukur Yatani. This action is part of an ongoing investigation targeting Ukur Yat

The freezing orders, issued by Justice Esther Maina on Friday, May 3, 2024, will remain in force for six months.

Reasons and Suspicions

According to court documents, the possession of the amount by Ibrae Doko Yatani raises reasonable suspicion that it may constitute proceeds of corruption, unexplained wealth, or involvement in money laundering. The EACC stated its intention to investigate the source of the funds.

Irregular Transactions

During the period of interest, Ibrae Doko Yatani, through his company Al Habib Enterprises, allegedly irregularly received Ksh 71,790,897 from the County Government of Marsabit.

Concerns and Potential Actions

EACC expressed concern that without court intervention, Ibrae Doko Yatani might demand the unconditional release of the cash and dispose of or transfer it, potentially thwarting forfeiture proceedings and harming public interests. Additionally, the frozen amount may serve as evidence in potential criminal charges.
