Note that the Kilifi government had to obtain court orders to compel the Uhuru government to freeze the accounts of his thieving tribesmen.
It is the governor who is being threatened with arrest and summoned and grilled by the police. NOT the thieves.
Then Uhuru financed Mung'aro to sponsor a demo against the thieves. A planned demo against the ethnic thieves was banned.
EACC detectives on Friday evening arrested four main suspects in connection with the alleged Sh51million theft in Kilifi county.
The four, Samuel Buku Macharia, Lucy Wanjiku Kibogo, Samuel Nzioka Kamau and Sarah Wangui Kamau are being held at Kileleshwa police station in Nairobi.
They will be flown to Kilifi to face graft charges.
On Monday, Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi was questioned by EACC detectives for more than seven hours over the alleged misappropriation of the millions of shillings.
He was questioned over the over the Sh51 million payments through Ifmis, the purchase of 11 acres for the Mtwapa bus park at Sh308 million and the “mysterious” payment of Sh34 million to two companies for unknown services.
Mediscope Agencies Ltd was paid Sh24 million by the Kilifi government for unknown services, while Grand Top Solutions received Sh10 million for unspecified services.
Kingi arrived at the Integrity Centre at 11.30am.
He was escorted by Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho, his lawyer and Siaya Senator James Orengo, woman representative Aisha Jumwa, Taveta MP Joyce Lay, Embakasi South MP Irshard Sumra and student leader Babu Owino. Kingi had failed to turn up last Friday.

On Friday, it emerged that cartels involved in the alleged looting used fake documents and signatures to steal the money without raising suspicion from the banks which did the transactions.
Assembly speaker Jimmy Kahindi said the recent allegations involving county officials calls for special attention.
Documents produced by the banks showed that they were not genuine as some had wrong letterheads of Kilifi county government that were used in the LPOs.

I can confidently assure you that by the time the accounts were frozen, all the loot had already been moved out of the country

True. Very true.
You can see how heavy their feet are as they struggle to put up a show of arresting the hard working thieves.

Amason Kingi is a tribesman how? Tribal class maybe?

it seems these mafias have a supply chain on lock. This is the craziest case where a governor has to plead for criminals to be arrested.

It looks to me like the governor himself is under suspicion too. So he points fingers. These days when you are caught, you point fingers at other thieves. That seems to cool things down.

I think the governor has provided enough evidence to show he is not involved. I think Kingi comes off as a moderate guy trying to do the right thing
