An anti-corruption court is set to provide guidance today on the Ksh73 million corruption case involving former Migori Governor Okoth Obado.

The case at the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi, also implicates his children and alleged proxies in a web of graft accusations.

The accused are charged with offenses that include conspiracy to commit economic crimes, engaging in conflict of interest, unlawful acquisition of public funds, and money laundering.

The court has since heard that Obado and his co-accused exaggerated the prices of goods and services to unfairly confer financial benefits to themselves.

EACC Investigating officer Robert Rono has since testified and produced bank transactions showing how money was moved from the coffers of the county government of Migori into those of the accused persons.

Meanwhile, investigations indicate that most payments were lawfully made in respect to executed contracts whose works were confirmed in a verification exercise.

He has been testifying for the last three years since the hearing began.

The prosecution has lined up 58 more witnesses to testify in a bid to prove the case against Obado and his co-accused persons.

Separately, the court is expected to proceed with a case in which five people including Triton Petroleum are accused of jointly disposing off 13 million cubic metres of diesel worth Sh32,047,783 without the consent of Emirates National Oil Corporation (Singapore).

The accused persons are all charged with conspiring to defraud a number of petroleum companies by purporting that Triton had diesel ready for sale at KPC storage in Kipevu.
