A manager at the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) suspected of engaging in high-level corruption has suffered a blow after the High Court froze his assets worth Sh216 million.

Lady Justice Esther Maina froze assets belonging to Peter Njehia, who is Ketraco's supply chain manager, his wife Julie Hellen Matu and son Anthony Njehia following claims by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) that the properties were acquired through fraud.
