Kiambu Governor Paul Kimani Wamatangi, his wife, children, and 10 others have suffered a major blow after the High Court issued orders freezing their bank accounts over a Sh813 million graft scandal.

Justice Benjamin Musyoki ordered five accounts to remain frozen pending the hearing of a recovery suit by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on February 4, 2026.
