NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec 1 – The Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) detectives on Monday morning raided the homes of several officials at the Devolution and Planning Ministry, including former Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru.
EACC officials confirmed that their officers were also searching homes of former Planning Principal Secretary Peter Mangiti, former National Youth Service (NYS) Director General Nelson Githinji among others.

“It is a wide search targeting all the homes of key individuals in the NYS probe,” an official said, “the officers are at the homes of Waiguru, Mangiti, Githinji and the rest.”
The official said the officers were looking for vital documents to aid the NYS probe in which hundreds of millions was lost through corruption.
More than twenty officials from the Ministry have been charged with corruption and abuse of office, including Mangiti and Githinji while Waiguru was listed as a witness.

Waiguru resigned from the Devolution Ministry, citing health concerns following public pressure for her to quit.
