The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has launched an investigation into former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i’s wealth over a 10-year period from 2012 to 2022.
On Monday, the anti-graft agency wrote to State House Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Felix Koskei seeking information regarding the declared wealth of Matiang’i.
“The Commission is carrying out investigations involving Dr. Fred Matiang’i, former Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government,” the letter reads.
EACC Chief Executive Officer Twalib Mbarak confirmed that the commission is investigating the former cabinet secretary even though he did not give further details of the probe.
Mbarak wants Koskei to avail wealth declaration forms submitted by Matiang’i, saying EACC is pursuing the matter based on Section 30(1)(4)(b) of the Public Officers Ethics Act.
“The Commission wishes to request for Certified Copies of Declaration of Income, Assets and Liabilities forms for years 2012 to 2022, including the initial and final declarations,” the letter adds.
Mbarak delegated EACC detectives Abdul Low and Paul Mugwe to collect the documents from Koskei’s office at Harambee House.
Matiang’i was first sworn in as the Cabinet Secretary for Information and Communications in 2013. He later served as Education CS before he was moved to the Interior docket in 2017 and was retained in the same ministry when retired President Uhuru Kenyatta was reelected.

A thief is always a thug whether it is IPhone4g,her tribe,Raila,Uhuru,Ruto or whoever it is.Did he wire you some loot share dividends in the shs 8b govt land Ruaraka deal?Not even his few tribesmen defending him.Gangster Matiang’i shared the whole loot with a kimuitu Mburu and a few PSs,police and of course his mob/goon “ADVOCATE”,muuaji Raila.RISASI TU.
Kuria claims that Matiang’i…
Kuria claims that Matiang’i should not have given Chinese permits to come into the country and become traders,and that they were only allowed to acquire manufacturing permits. If this is true, as we know in Kenya,or for that matter elsewhere,to make someone bend the law in your favor could cost as much as a new Mach 5,or afew fisfuls of cash to afew movers and shakers.Given this backdrop,I can see Matiang’i being investigated for eating rushwa.

How can the owner of Kenya,jambazi Matiang’i(who ejected Miguna like a dog) run away from his “property”(Kenya)?Why run away if he is innocent?All these gangsters,including Ngina,Moi,Odinga,Wanjigi,Mwai,Kirubi families,50 Mt Kenya billionaire thugs etc are in big trouble because jambazi Ruto has inside knowledge of their dirty deals,I.e,looting,grabbing,tax-evasion etc.They are trapped but the main problem is hungry billionaire Kenyans who support them forgetting they are the ones paying what they have looted.A good example is Ngina led looting of shs 230b.COVID LOANS.
