Nairobi Governor Arrested on Corruption Charges

Rael Ombuor

   NAIROBI - Kenya's public prosecutor Noordin Haji on Friday ordered the
   immediate arrest and prosecution of Nairobi County Governor Gideon
   Mbuvi.

   He said the governor and nearly a dozen senior Nairobi County officials
   face charges of unlawful acquisition of public property, money
   laundering and other economic crimes.

   According to Haji, investigations by Kenya's Ethics and Anti-Corruption
   Commission found enough evidence to warrant arrest and prosecution of
   Mbuvi and his accused associates.
