A senior employee at the National Treasury has struck a deal with the anti-graft agency to surrender Sh24 million to escape prosecution for accumulating wealth through corruption.

Charles Mutiso, a Deputy Director in charge of external resources at the treasury, signed the consent with Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to settle the dispute out of court.
