He is also claimed to have received Ksh7.9 million M-Pesa deposits.
The agency was attracted to the unexplained dealings of the accountant after he denied that he does not own the Toyota Prado which was acquired in 2015.
According to Ahmed Iftikhar, a Pakistani, who sold the car to him, he noted that the vehicle was paid for in two installments of Ksh3 million and Ksh2.6 million in less than three hours.
Although the vehicle was paid for and owned by Biketi, it was registered in one Mildred Kerubo Obare who is alleged to be his accomplice.
The EACC are still acquiring further information into how the accountant acquired his wealth.
