flag Kenyan court blocks $50M in payments to suppliers tied to accused corruption mastermind Benson Gethi Wangui.

flag A Kenyan High Court has halted Sh6.2 billion in payments to suppliers linked to Benson Gethi Wangui, accused of masterminding a 2013–2016 National Youth Service corruption scheme involving fake deliveries of food, fuel, and clothing. flag The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) initially approved most of the claims in 2020, citing verified documents, but reversed course in 2024, alleging fraud and forged records. flag This contradiction has sparked legal challenges and raised questions about the EACC’s credibility, as suppliers argue the agency cannot now block payments it once endorsed. flag Gethi, a former construction worker from Nyeri, remains central to Kenya’s ongoing struggle with grand corruption despite frozen assets, acquittals, and multiple legal battles.
