Embattled anti-graft agency boss Philip Kinisu on Thursday admitted he was a signatory to a bank account that received millions of shillings from the scandal-hit National Youth Service. The committee is investigating Mr Kinisu’s association with Esaki Ltd that was paid Sh35.4 million by NYS in 2014 and 2015. Even as you chair the EACC, you are still receiving money as you are a signatory to that bank account,” committee chairman Samuel Chepkong’a said. Mr Kinisu replied: “The law allows commissioners, as they work part time, to engage in other lawful business. Wajir Woman Rep Fatuma Ibrahim asked how as EACC boss, Mr Kinisu could not influence investigations.
