[David Njaaga, Standard]Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) have backed a case seeking to bar aspirants implicated in graft or those whose integrity is questionable barred from participating in the coming elections. “The said constitutional and statutory leadership and integrity thresholds must be satisfied by all candidates in the General Election. The qualifications under Articles 99 and 193 of the Constitution are mandatory and applicable to the different elective positions,” EACC said. The anti-graft further said the right to hold a public office can be limited by a government or the court. In May 2021, he won the election notwithstanding the fact he had been charged before a court of law.
