NAIROBI: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has petitioned the High Court to extend the order freezing assets worth Sh400 million belonging to a senior Nairobi County official facing corruption charges.

EACC wants the court to grant the application to extend by six months the freeze on suspended County Council Finance Officer Jimmy Kiamba's assets that the anti-graft body claims were acquired fraudulently.
