Meanwhile, two suspects arrested last week over the fire incident that destroyed vital documents in the Finance office of Busia County government will today (Tuesday) know whether they will be released on bail.

The accused, Evans Wandera an accountant and Finance Director Paul Anono have been charged with setting on fire  the Busia County Finance offices last Wednesday.

The two have denied the charges  before Principal Magistrate Samson Tema.

The accused, who were arraigned in court last Friday have since been in police custody at the Busia police station since their arrest and arraignment in court.

The documents that were set on office at the finance office are believed to be crucial in a probe by EACC over procurement irregularities in which millions of shillings were reportedly paid to three companies to supply stationery.
