Former Christ is the Answer Ministries Church (Citam) Presiding Bishop David Oginde is the new Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) chairperson.

His name was picked from a list of three individuals including former Makueni Professor Kivutha Kibwana and Amani Yuda Komara, who had all been picked by the Public Service Commission. Oginde's name has now been been forwarded to the National Assembly for consideration.
"His Excellency Hon. William Samoei Ruto has on the recommendation of the Public Service Commission nominated Bishop (Dr.) David Adang Oginde for appointment as the Chairperson of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission," a statement released yesterday by Head of Public Service Felix Koskei read.

Previously, Oginde served as the Chancellor of Pan Africa Christian (PAC) University. He has a PhD in Organizational Leadership from Regent University School of Business and Leadership, USA. He also graduated with a Masters in Leadership Degree from Pan Africa Christian University.
