The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) announced the auction of properties linked to former Migori Governor Okoth Obado, following court rulings declaring them proceeds of corruption.
This was an about turn over its earlier opposition to the proposed sale by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions which had been leading in plea bargain with Obado.
EACC had been opposing the proposal and even confronted the ODPP in court.
This forced a judge to push forward a motion to settle the matter.
But in a turn of events, in a notice published on Monday, EACC said the auction will take place from October 9, 2025 in Nairobi and Kisumu, with the Commission engaging Galaxy Auctioneers, Keysian Auctioneers, and Astorion Auctioneers to oversee the sale.
Among the assets set for sale are high-end apartments in Nairobi’s Riara and Green Span estates, maisonettes in Savannah Estate, townhouses along Waiyaki Way, and residential blocks in Migori County.
The prime properties include Riara Apartment No. FF3, a three-bedroom unit in Riara Close, Kilimani, with access to a gym, swimming pool, and ample parking.
Also on auction are two-bedroom apartments in Greenspan Estate, Donholm, Nairobi, and Maisonette No. 279 in Savannah Estate, Nairobi, measuring 165 square meters.
EACC will also liquidate Townhouse No. C-01 in Loresho Ridge, off Waiyaki Way, and Multiple rental units and parcels of land in Migori town and Suna East, including residential blocks near Kadika Girls Secondary School and the County Commissioner’s offices.
