Officers from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Wednesday arrested Murang’a Governor Mwangi Wa Iria.

Mr Wa Iria, who was driven from Murang’a to EACC headquarters said he was arrested in relation to a case he had before vying in the 2013 elections.

His arrest had nothing to do with the ongoing purge on corruption allegations against State officers in which 12 governors have been mentioned.
