A Kenyan governor and four of his children have been arraigned in court over the alleged embezzlement of public funds amounting to 73 million Kenyan shillings, equivalent to 675,000 dollars.

Governor OKOTH OBADO of Migori County in western Kenya was accused of indirectly receiving the money through his children who 

received multiple payments from companies trading with the county government.

OBADO and his co-accused have pleaded not guilty to the charges and asked to be released on bail pending trial.
