Nairobi — The High Court has granted a request by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to freeze the assets of former Thika Land Registrar Felix Mecha Nyakundi under a graft probe.

The EACC had sought the order to freeze 17 high-end vehicles and 106 prime properties which it believes are the proceeds of crime.

In addition, the court allowed the EACC to retain the sum of Sh4,260,000 in cash seized from the suspect during a search carried out by its officials at his homes and offices.
