National Assembly votes to kick out EACC bosses

The National Assembly dealt a blow to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s anti-graft efforts by kicking out top officials of the secretariat left to oversee high-level investigations after the commission chairman and his two deputies were sent packing.

 While the Executive was accused of hounding the three commissioners - Mr Mumo Matemu, Ms Irene Keino and Ms Jane Onsongo - the Legislature yesterday targeted the secretariat by sending home the Chief Executive and his deputy, who have been overseeing the processing of high profile cases that the President made public in March.
