He is alleged to have received a bribe of Ksh.799,000 from Dennis Mokaya who wanted to secure a job at the Gusii Water and Sewerage Company (GWASCO).
The money is said to be sent in batches to the deputy governor while another sum was physically delivered at his Gusii stadium office.

After missing the job opportunity, Mr Dennis Mokaya reported the matter to the DCI, stating that the deputy governor had threatened him.
While reading out the allegations contained in the impeachment motion, Kisii County Speaker Dr Philip Nyanumba also cited misuse of office by the deputy governor who is said to be using county security personnel as farmhands among other accusations.
