Today the National Assembly will either approve or reject the Ethics and Anti-Corruption nominee for Chief Executive Officer Twalib Mbarak. If approved, Mbarak will be arriving at a critical time when the EACC's operational framework is receding, even disintegrating. The new CEO, assuming it's Mbarak, is expected to be the lever that has been missing in our machine to fight graft. History will come in handy, noting how former boss Prof. Patrick Lumumba left the institution. Finally the new sheriff should not weaponise the fight on corruption but rather institutionalise it by taking the fight on corruption from Nairobi to the counties.
