[File, Standard]Irene Keino’s anti-graft agency woes haunted her hunt for the polls agency job when she faced the panel today. She was on the spot over having been removed from one agency and seeking a role in another. In the letter to Uhuru, Keino said it was inappropriate for her to continue serving the EACC without the full confidence of Kenyans following questions over her competence and graft allegations. In the letter, Keino said her resignation was intended to “spare my family the anguish of a judicial process that will cause them unimaginable pain and also lend my support in the fight against corruption”. Others are Prof Joseph Naituli and Dr Rose Musyoka, who sat at the National Cohesion and Integration Commission and the National Land Commission respectively.
