New Bill seeks to chip away Kinoti and Haji powers in corruption war

Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji with Director of criminal investigations George Kinoti.

The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) will have limited powers in the fight against corruption if a Bill before the National Assembly becomes law.

This comes just days after the Deputy President William Ruto and politicians allied to him said at a rally that the mandate of fighting corruption falls under the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and not with the DPP’s or the DCI’s offices.
