BUNGOMA, Kenya – Busia Governor Paul Otuoma on Tuesday morning presented himself before the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) following a summons linked to ongoing investigations at the Busia County Government.
The governor arrived at the EACC Western Regional Offices in Bungoma at about 9:30am, where he began recording a statement with investigators.
Speaking briefly to the media after his arrival, Otuoma said he was ready to cooperate fully with the commission to help clarify the issues under investigation.
“I have come to respond to the summons and to fully cooperate with the investigators so that the matter can be clarified,” the governor said.
The EACC, however, has not disclosed the nature of the allegations or the specific departments under scrutiny, saying investigations are still ongoing.
Otuoma’s appearance before the anti-graft body comes amid heightened scrutiny of county governments as enforcement agencies intensify efforts to curb corruption and improve accountability in public service.
The commission is expected to issue further communication once preliminary inquiries are concluded.
