All eyes on legislators as EACC picks insider as new bossThe fate of Mr Twalib Mbarak’s successor as Chief Executive Officer of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is now in the hands of the National Assembly. The nominee has been the EACC deputy chief executive officer and a career investigator with over 30 years’ experience. “The nominee details will now be forwarded to the National Assembly for vetting and consideration in accordance with the law,” said Dr Oginde. Mr Mohamud beat other senior EACC staff — Mr Vincent Omari Okongo (Director Prevention Service), Mr David Kiplagat Ruto Too (Director Legal) and Jackson Kaunda Mue (Director Field Services and Coordination) — who had also applied. Another challenge awaiting Mr Mohamud, should he be cleared by Parliament, is the low level of convictions and backlog of cases.
