After many months tracking down the 'Big fish' and locating some huge amounts of cash and property starched away by some corrupt officials and politicians not forgetting the several pending court cases, KACC Director, Patrick Loch Otieno (PLO) Lumumba has been given marching orders.
Parliament debated and finally scooped the top record when President Kibaki assented to the bill that opted to oust the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission and the Director PLO Lumumba. Members of the august house turned their scathing attack on KACC with an unprecedented momentum from last week where they accused Lumumba of engaging in 'trivialities' including leakages to media houses and for targeting and disrespecting the parliamentarians.
The marching orders have also been given to Lumumba's deputy, John Parmenas Mutonyi who was in charge of investigations. The list also includes three assistant directors: Mr. Wilson Shollei (Finance and Administration), Prof. Jane Onsando (Preventive Services) and Mr. Pravin Bowry (Legal Services and Asset Tracing).
Reports from Nairobi has it that a new Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission will be set up and assume its duties once set up within 90 days. In the meanwhile, KACC Advisory Board chaired by Okong'o Omogeni, (former chairman, Kenya Law Society) takes charge of the operations at KACC.
