The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has once again stepped into the spotlight, this time with a major public auction of prime properties across Nairobi, Kisumu, and Migori Counties. The announcement, published in the Daily Nation on Monday, September 22, 2025, reveals that several apartments, maisonettes, and commercial properties will go under the hammer in October 2025.
The properties, recovered through anti-corruption and economic crimes proceedings, are set to be sold by public auction under the management of Galaxy Auctioneers, Keysian Auctioneers, and Astorion Auctioneers. The move highlights EACC’s commitment to reclaiming assets linked to corruption while offering Kenyans a chance to acquire prime real estate at competitive market prices.
This article provides a detailed breakdown of the properties on offer, their locations, sizes, features, and what interested buyers need to know about the auction process.
Why This Auction Matters

For prospective buyers, such auctions present a rare opportunity to secure homes or investments at competitive rates, since the sale process is transparent and court-backed. Moreover, with Nairobi’s real estate market remaining competitive and Kisumu’s property demand rising, the timing of this auction could not be more strategic.
