Two million shillings in fake currency and a money printing machine are said to have been recovered by EACC officers when they raided the homes of Tharaka-Nithi Deputy Governor Eliud Murithi Mate and a retired chief.

The anti-graft team which on Friday night raided the two homes belonging to Mr Mate in Tunyai and Kinoru are said to have acted on tip-offs that the county deputy boss is highly involved in graft.
