Reports indicate that Sonia Mworia destroyed the evidence recovered at their Lower Kabete home in the ongoing probe over the embezzlement of Ksh 350 million.

The raid comes in the wake of renewed efforts to tame runaway graft at both the national and county government.

The fight is led by President Uhuru Kenyatta who has made it clear that noone will be spared.

Several governors including Sospeter Ojaamong (Busia) Okoth Obado (Migori) and Mohamed Muhamud Abdi (Wajir) are under probe.
