The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) seems to have been shaken to the core by Governor Kawira’s press brief just hours after the said governor had left the EACC building where she had been summoned.
Meru County Governor, Miss Kawira Mwangaza had approached the EACC in response to a petition filed before the commission challenging her leadership.
The husband to the said Governor lamented that the petition before the EACC seeks to block him from accessing the Governor’s official residence.
However, the EACC says that it takes great exception to the strange allegations of directives attributed to it regarding the use, or otherwise, of Meru Governor’s official vehicles and residence by her spouse.
The commission proceeds to say such personal and family matters are not of any concern or importance to the Commission.
Further, EACC admits that its letter to the Governor was limited to seeking her response to the allegations of conflict of interest, recruitment irregularities and abuse of office levelled against her. It did not include the strange issues being raised to trivialize and politicize the matter.
EACC proceeds to say that similar letters were sent to other Governors and State Officers who have responded to the Commission without the theatrics witnessed in this particular matter. In the performance of its duties, EACC is guided by the law and does not venture into personal or family affairs.
