Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has raised the red flag over fraudulently payment of allowances to Embu ward-representatives for meetings they don’t attend. The damning report showed that in addition, MCAs were allowed to sign the register after it was closed. The report also censured the County Assembly for not having a well-structured system of managing both internal and external complaints for accountability reasons. The EACC report stated that it was impossible to prioritise areas of intervention, including those related to corruption, unethical conduct, irregularities and delays in service delivery. The ceremony was presided over by EACC Commissioner Rose Mghoi Macharia who presented the report to Speaker Thiriku and Deputy Clerk James Munyi.
