Migori Governor Okoth Obado was arrested on Wednesday after three hours of grilling by Ethics and Anti-Corruption (EACC) officers in Kisii.
This is after he surrendered himself at EACC offices located along the Kisii-Kilgoris road, escaping imminent arrest for allegedly stealing public money.
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji had on Tuesday approved charges against him and some of his family members after agreeing with findings of the EACC.
“All is okay,” Mr Obado told journalists as he left EACC’s offices for Nairobi were he and the other suspects are set to be charged in court.
Mr Obado, who is serving his second term in office, arrived at the EACC offices at around 8.30 am accompanied by his children, relatives, aides and some county staff.
Journalists, Obado’s supporters, friends and relatives were locked out of the compound.
After he was grilled, the Governor was placed under arrest along with four of his children.
His children — Susan Scarlet, Jerry Zachary, Evelyn Adhiambo and Dan Achola Okoth — put on a brave face as they were escorted by police officers to vehicles that took them all to Nairobi.
