Former National Assembly Majority Leader and Kipipiri MP Amos Kimunya, former Kirinyaga Deputy Governor Ndabiri, all allies of Uhuru Kenyatta, have been named in a fresh wave of corruption cases as the government intensifies its anti-graft crackdown.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) released this week’s court schedule, listing several high-profile figures facing charges ranging from abuse of office, fraudulent procurement, to unexplained wealth running into billions of shillings.
Kimunya is accused of abuse of office in a case involving the irregular disposal of 25 acres of Njabini Farmers Training Centre land without approval from the Ministry of Agriculture. The matter will be heard at the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court from August 28–29, 2025.

In Kirinyaga, former Deputy Governor Peter Ndambari Njagi faces charges of conflict of interest over the award of a road construction tender while in office. His case will be heard at the Kerugoya Law Court on August 27, 2025.
Other prominent names include former Transport Cabinet Secretary Michael Kamau, who is accused of authorising a road redesign at a cost of Ksh33.3 million without following due procedure, and Benson Muteti, a KeRRA Coast Regional Manager, facing a Ksh744 million unexplained wealth suit.
David Gikonyo, accused of amassing Ksh615 million, and Peter Maina Njehia, a KETRACO manager charged with holding Ksh216 million in unexplained wealth, are also on the list.
The corporate sector is not spared, with Hartland Enterprises Ltd and Aero Dispenser Valves Ltd implicated in procurement scandals at Kenya Pipeline and other state bodies, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions.

EACC says these prosecutions signal a renewed push against economic crimes undermining service delivery and investor confidence. With cases spanning county governments, state corporations, and private businesses, analysts argue the outcome will shape Kenya’s investment climate, governance credibility, and the cost of doing business.
The anti-graft war, once seen as selective, is now dragging back some of the country’s most influential political and business figures to the dock, underlining the high stakes in Kenya’s fight against corruption.
