Channel 15 News can authoritatively report that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has launched a probe into a web of companies linked to Kitui South MP Rachel Kaki’s relatives and allies, who allegedly walked away with lucrative road contracts awarded by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA).
In a letter dated 26th August 2025 (reference EACC.MCKS.6/1/2(189)), the Commission ordered KeRRA to submit details of all projects awarded since 2013 to four companies: Muyo K Enterprises Ltd, Tira Southshore Holdings Ltd, Kyatune General Stores Ltd, and Fedma Store. The EACC requested tender documents, evaluation reports, directors’ details, contract sums, payment records, and project statuses within 14 days, warning that non-compliance would constitute obstruction under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003.
Following this, KeRRA Acting Director General Eng. J.K. Magondu issued a circular on 28th August 2025 instructing regional directors to urgently provide certified records of all projects awarded to the four companies by 4th September 2025.
Channel 15 News has obtained Business Registration Services (BRS) documentation implicating and confirming that the companies under investigation are closely tied to MP Rachel Kaki’s inner circle.
Tira Southshore Holdings Ltd is reportedly controlled by Abigail Mukeli, the MP’s niece, while Muyo K Enterprises Ltd is owned by former Ikanga Kyatune MCA Mbiti, a close political ally. Both Fedma Store and Kyatune General Stores Ltd are registered under Ferdinand Makwele Nyamai, the MP’s brother.
When contacted, the EACC told Channel 15 News that the investigation “relates to allegations of conflict of interest involving public officials and their relatives” and emphasized that it “is not confined to any single road project, but seeks to ensure transparency and accountability in public procurement.”
Analysts warn that the probe could expose a tender-rigging network, allowing family and allies of the MP to secure multi-million-shilling contracts at the expense of Kitui South residents.
As scrutiny intensifies, governance watchdogs and residents are watching closely to see whether the findings will lead to legal action against those implicated in the network and whether the multi-year road projects will face further accountability checks.
