Circus at EACC a pointer to the power of corruption

That there is high drama at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is an understatement. Nearly all top officials of the Commission — the Chair, Deputy Chair and CEO — have become key actors in some kind of theatre. This at a time many are waiting with bated breath for the outcome of the President’s 60 day ultimatum on the conclusion of corruption cases presented to Parliament several weeks back. The question in many, therefore, is whether this is all by coincidence or is orchestrated by some invisible hands.

When the President stepped into Parliament some weeks back and dropped the bombshell of a list of those suspected of involvement in corruption, Parliament responded with thunderous applause and standing ovations. Both sides of the political divide were united in their appreciation for the President’s action.
