According to the commission, this summon is part of the ongoing investigations into alleged embezzlement of public funds and procurement irregularities linked to multiple infrastructural projects valued at KES 2.2 billion.
The investigation, which began in June 2024, seeks to uncover the misuse of public resources in the implementation of critical university projects.
“Following summons, Moi University Vice-Chancellor Professor Isaac Kosgei is currently before investigators at the Commission’s North Rift Regional Offices in Eldoret over the alleged embezzlement of public funds and procurement irregularities involving multiple infrastructural projects worth Kes2.2 billion,” stated EACC.
