Detectives at the Ethics and anti-corruption commission (EACC) are now relying on bank statements to determine bribery link between two main companies that are said to have wired a cumulative of Sh20 million to Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko.  

At the centre of investigations are two firms, Toddy Civil engineering company Limited and Hardi enterprises limited associated with businessman Antony Mwaura the two main players in unearthing the bribery allegations against Mr Sonko.

On  Tuesday, Sonko was grilled for for over four hours at the EACC’s Intergrity Centre where the sleuths were seeking to determine circumstances under which a contractor wired money to a tune of sh20million.

Sonko recorded a statement at the EACC offices in Nairobi where he is said to have told investigators the money was purely on business purposes and had nothing to do with the county affairs.
