DPP Noordin Haji has directed the immediate arrest and prosecution of Migori Governor Okoth Obado and 23 others over embezzlement of county funds.

Four of Obado’s children and county staff said to be accessories of Obado’s theft will also be arrested.

According to a statement by Haji, Obado used proxies to unlawfully benefit a total of Sh73 million from companies trading with the county.

It is alleged that the governor received multiple payments through his children’s accounts between 2014 and 2017.

“The audit trail of the money revealed that companies wired Sh39 million to the governor’s children accounts which was used to pay school fees, upkeep and medical bills in Australia, Scotland and the UK, ” Haji said.
