The public residents of Taita Taveta County have raised the alarm & invited the attention of the relevant authorities to come to their rescue following the Ex-governor and members of the county assembly’s fraud in the previous regime.
The ex-governor Granton Samboja has been accused of squandering Taita Taveta’s public funds & buying out MCAs to come to his side while emptying County’s coffers.
The residents of the region have come out to request assistance from the Ethics and anti-corruption commission (EACC) to grill the MCAs who authorized County’s money for embezzlement by the ex-governor Granton Samboja.
According to the reports by the residents of Taita Taveta County, MCAs from the region moved out of the country on official foreign trips using County’s money. 
The report from the residents claims that MCAs made several unnecessary foreign trips & therefore they demanded that those money should be refunded by those MCAs because they made more personal trips using the County’s money rather than official trips.
The report claims that the Members of the County Assembly from Taita Taveta county from the previous regime siphoned the county millions of money which can not even be confirmed whether they traveled to the foreign countries they suggest they used the County’s money for.
The people of Taita Taveta ceremoniously threw out Granton Samboja & replaced him with John Mtuta Mruttu.
Granton Samboja served as the second Governor of Taita Taveta County on a Jubilee party ticket.
However, Governor John Mtuta Mruttu defeated him during the 2022 general elections on an Independent party.
