The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has recovered approximately Sh65.3 million in cash during a raid at the residence of Nairobi County Chief Officer for Urban Development and Planning, Patrick Analo Akivaga, as part of an ongoing corruption investigation.

The operation was conducted at Analo's home in Syokimau, Machakos County, where investigators recovered Sh51.3 million in Kenyan currency and an additional USD 113,000, equivalent to about Sh14 million. Authorities reported that the cash was found both inside the residence and in the boot of his vehicle.

According to EACC, the raid forms part of investigations into allegations of conflict of interest, abuse of office, bribery, and possession of unexplained wealth. The commission claims that Analo received more than Sh170 million through suspicious cash and M-Pesa transactions between the 2019/20 and 2025/26 financial years.

Detectives also seized several title deeds, motor vehicle logbooks, land and vehicle sale agreements, laptops, mobile phones, iPads, and planning approval documents believed to be relevant to the investigation.

The case has renewed public scrutiny of Nairobi County's planning department, which oversees development approvals and construction permits. EACC says investigations are ongoing and that the findings will determine whether criminal charges, asset recovery proceedings, or other legal action will follow.
