EACC finalised 33 court cases, convicted 25 people and recovered Sh134 million cash
in the last year.
During a question and answer session via Twitter on Friday, the commission reported recovering Sh134,116,406 and preserving assets worth Sh374,881,583.
EACC noted that in the
matter of former KPA managing director James Mwathethe, a court ordered him
to pay a total Sh85 million and Sh41 million for the Stanley Mombo Amuti Case.
The commission further
reported that three people were acquitted, six discharged and 900 charged, and that 423 cases were ongoing.
But it said 125 cases were withdrawn after the Court of Appeal's decision regarding former Transport CS Michael Kamau.
Kamau had been accused of abuse of office and flouting guidelines relating to management of public funds in the design of Kamukuywa-Kaptama-Kapsokwony-Sirisia Road done by Engiconsult Ltd at a cost of Sh33.3 million.
The Anti-Corruption Court discharged him after the appeals court terminated the case.
Several suspects in corruption cases have been cleared since the rulings were made.
Among them was former National Youth Service director Nelson Githinji.

Via #UnitedAgainstCorruptionKE, the anti-graft commission cited societies' high tolerance to corruption as one of its main challenges.
"The commission acknowledges this as a big challenge and has carried out public awareness through rigorous anti-corruption campaigns," a tweet read.
The commission also noted adverse court decisions in terms of frequent adjournments.
In May, EACC chairman Eliud Wabukala said high-profile people in government were deliberately frustrating prosecution of graft cases.
Wabukala said those involved in the cases took large sums of money and that they had tried to make strides in prosecuting the cases but that their hands were tied due to limited resources.
