The anti-graft agency has fired a warning shot at governors that its resolve to rid their counties of wanton graft is unshaken, as the sixth governor goes down on Monday.
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission CEO Twalib Mbarak said the agency is keeping its eye on the ball and will not be deflected from its pursuit of county graft barons and their cronies.
“The EACC remains focused and committed to the discharge of its mandate to the people of Kenya,” Mbarak told the Star, reminding officials that county coffers are not their personal cash cows.
Mukuru slum to get 13,000 houses in Sh15 billion plan
Nairobi’s Mukuru slums will be upgraded in a Sh15 billion programme through which 13,000 new housing units will be built.
The Cabinet approved the project last week on Thursday.
The Mukuru Social Housing Project will be undertaken jointly by the government and private investors.
President Uhuru Kenyatta said this is part of his affordable housing programme, which is part of the Big Four agenda.
