His arrest follows further directions by ODPP in a case involving two plots located at Nairobi West along Mai Mahiu road- both valued at Millions of Kenya shillings.
Mwaita wast taken to Muthaiga police station for processing for arraignment as search for his accomplice continues.
The Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission is also investigating allegations of abuse of office, conflict of interest and fraudulent acquisition of public property arising from transactions he authorized during his tenure of office as a Commissioner of Lands.
One of the transactions entails the alleged allocation of public land to his brother located in Nakuru where the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) is currently constructing its regional headquarters.
To recover and revert the land back to the government, the Commission has since sued the Mwaitas, together with the Chief Land Registrar and obtained injunction orders prohibiting any dealings on the land pending the hearing and determination of the matter.
