EACC grills James Oswago over Chickengate scandal

James Oswago

NAIROBI: Former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chief Executive James Oswago has denied involvement in the so-called Chickengate scandal. Mr Oswago, who was yesterday grilled for hours by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, said he did not receive any money from Smith & Ouzman printing firm to influence award of tenders. Oswago said he would sue the alleged mastermind of the scandal Mr Trevy Oyombra for implicating him in the saga.

Addressing journalists at Integrity Centre, Oswago said the Kenyan case was different from that of the United Kingdom. “You have to understand what went on in the UK case. There were six charges there. Kenya was faced with three charges, while Mauritania, Somalia and Ghana were faced with one charge each,” he said.
