What other items Oparanya wanted released by EACC  The former governor had made an application arguing that the anti-graft agency seized documents, computers, mobile phones, and KSh 2 million in cash.  According to Oparanya, most of the confiscated times were irrelevant to the case being investigated by EACC. “The orders did not authorise anyone to seize and carry any mobile phones and computers belonging to other persons who are not parties to the proceedings,” Oparanya said as reported by K24 TV. The ODM deputy party leader told the court that EACC went beyond the scope of the court orders when they confiscated mobile phones from his children, spouses, and workers.

At the same time, the rest should be returned to the former Kakamega county boss.
