A Kenyan court has blocked a former hospital chief executive from accessing properties and bank accounts worth more than 229 million shillings. Justice Lucy Njuguna granted the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission emergency orders on Monday to freeze land valued at 130 million shillings, treasury bonds worth 55 million shillings, and bank deposits exceeding 44.5 million shillings. The Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Division judge stated that authorities suspect the assets originated from corruption and unexplained income during the executive's tenure at the national referral hospital.
The temporary injunction bars any sales, transfers, or other transactions until Sept. 11, 2025, when the court will review the case. Njuguna ordered service of the application within three days and warned that violations would carry penalties. The commission must prove the money and property represent proceeds of graft before the court can order permanent forfeiture.
