The much publicised raid by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission officers at the residence of the former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru shows that the commission is either not serious about its work or is simply playing public relations gimmicks.
When questions of dubious transactions at the National Youth Service were raised, it is the very same commission that came out in support of the claims by the CS that she was not a suspect in the case and even went further to present its findings to Waiguru herself.
What changed? How could a “certified” whistle blower, who not so long ago was given the findings of EACC investigations, turn into a suspect to warrant a publicised raid? Does it mean that EACC realised overnight that it did a shoddy work? And if indeed it did a shoddy work, how then do we trust the commission this time round with the raid? How sure can Kenyans be that this is not just another gimmick to hoodwink Kenyans in the name of cleansing the former CS?
I am disappointed and do not expect much from the much publicised “raid”.
