KISUMU: Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leader Raila Odinga has accused the Jubilee Government of infiltrating independent institutions and interfering with their work.

Raila singled out the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) as being compromised by the government. He expressed his displeasure that EACC did not find fault with Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru over the loss of millions of shillings  in her ministry and instead handed recommendations for the overhaul National Youth Service (NYS) to her.
