No graft case will go unpunished- Wabukhala

BY PETER KOMBE The Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission has issued a stern warning to Kenyans against engaging in graft saying no graft case will go unpunished. EACC Chairman Eliud Wabukhala said the commission ensures that all reported cases are conclusively dealt with in accordance with the law. Addressing the media in Mombasa on Wednesday, Wabukhala pointed out that the commission is investigating all graft cases in various parts of the country. He urged members of county assemblies to ensure that they combat corruption at all levels. Dr. Wabukhala also took issue with some of the county assemblies which have witnessed fist fights during the BBI debates amongst their MCA’s. ‘Before we engage in public shame let us take cognizance the fact that we are ourselves parents in our communities. It is our responsibility to ensure that we do not engage in issues that taint our public image as leaders,” he said. The retired Archbishop appealed to county assemblies to maintain integrity while serving in public offices. He said “we are following up on counties that have witnessed fights while conducting business including Nairobi, Kisumu and Baringo. However the challenge is that the counties argue that they are being targeted,” The EACC Chairman further pointed out that the commission is carrying out lifestyle audit to public officers in various counties. “On the issue of unexplained wealth we are conducting a lifestyle audit to public officers. However we are appealing for a strengthening of the law,” explained the chair. The EACC official made the remarks at the sidelines of a three days capacity building program for county assemblies service boards and the committees on powers and privileges on integrity compliance under chapter six of the constitution held in Mombasa on Wednesday. The Anti-Corruption Agency targets all the 47 counties in the program. Already four counties have been trained. End…..
