Former National Museums of Kenya Director-General Mzalendo Kibunja was on Monday arrested by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) detectives over the embezzlement of Ksh.490 million.
Kibunja was arrested alongside three other National Museums of Kenya officials, among them Oliver Okinyi, an ICT officer and Oscar Mwaura.
Mwaura is said to have led the recruitment exercise of ghost workers who were paid the sum, which was later diverted into individual accounts.
The embezzlement is said to have taken place for five years.
The four were detained at the EACC Integrity Centre police station awaiting to be arraigned on Tuesday.
The commission said it is set to initiate a recovery process for the embezzled resources.
