The wife of former Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria, Jane Waigwe Kimani, and her brother Solomon Mutura Kimani have been arrested over alleged graft.

The two are suspects in the Ksh.140 million Murang’a County corruption case.  

EACC Spokesperson Eric Ngumbi said the two were arrested on Wednesday and escorted to the Milimani Anti-Corruption Court for arraignment.

The two are Directors of Value View Ltd, one of the companies said to have been used as a conduit for the fraudulent scheme.

EACC is pursuing the other six suspects, including the former Governor, who failed to honour the summons to appear before the EACC on Wednesday morning.
