Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission on Monday arrested a suspect, who has been at large over the alleged award of a fraudulent tender worth Sh600 million.
He had been at large since February 1, when his six colleagues were arrested and charged.
EACC said the fraudulent tender for the Malaba Water Project was awarded by Rift Valley Water Services Board.
He will on Tuesday appear before the Bungoma Anti-Corruption Court, where he will be charged with fraudulent practice in procurement.
"His act is contrary to section 66 (1) as read with 177(a) of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015," EACC said.
Others who were arrested earlier were charged and granted a bond of Sh1 million with two sureties of a similar amount, or a cash bail of Sh500,000.
The matter will be mentioned on February 15 hearing slated for April 11.
