The new Ethics and Anti-Corruption commission boss Twalib Mbarak vowed to fight corruption using all means possible.
“Corrupt persons thrive on volatility. They exploit it for personal gain. I am committed to make the country free from corruption,” he said.
In one of the biggest scandals in Kenya of the National Youth Service involving Governor Ann Waiguru, the boss has cautioned her that the case will not be hurried because of her rank rather normal procedure will be followed and thus she should exercise patience as the case is still on.
Businesswoman Josephine Kabura had previously connected Waiguru, then Devolution Cabinet Secretary, in an affidavit, saying that her boss was aware of the massive plundering of resources at the NYS.
But the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Chief Executive Officer Twalib Mbarak yesterday told the county boss that her case was on course and it will not be hurried at all.
“We are not going to treat Governor Waiguru any differently because she is a governor. Due process must be followed,” Mbarak told Citizen TV’s Newsnight show.
He said his agency was dealing with other substantial cases yet to be resolved, but promised to get her feedback through the normal process.
“The case is being handled. She will get feedback through the normal process. There is no need to rush just because she is a governor. Her case is not special,” he advised, even as she urged the governor to be patient as her case was being handled.
