The High Court freezes bank accounts of Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi and his family as EACC investigates an alleged KSh 813 million corruption scandal involving county funds.

The legal siege around Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi has escalated dramatically. In a ruling that threatens to paralyze his financial empire, the High Court has ordered the immediate freezing of bank accounts belonging to the Governor, his wife, and his children, pending the outcome of a massive KSh 813 million corruption investigation.
Justice Benjamin Mwikya delivered the blow on Thursday afternoon, siding with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The anti-graft body argues that the funds in question are proceeds of crime, allegedly siphoned from county coffers through a complex web of proxy companies and kickbacks. For Wamatangi, a man who campaigned on a platform of "Wanjiku first," the optics are devastating.
The EACC’s dossier reads like a thriller. It details how millions of shillings were allegedly moved from county accounts to firms linked to the Governor’s close associates and family members.
This ruling is likely to trigger a political earthquake in Kiambu. With the accounts frozen, the Governor’s ability to mobilize resources is severely curtailed. Opponents are already circling, with MCAs whispering about a potential impeachment motion. The "United for Kiambu" facade is crumbling, and the Governor now faces a battle on two fronts: avoiding jail and saving his political career.
