A petition has been filed at the High Court seeking to bar newly appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Abdi Ahmed Mohamud from assuming office in January 2025.
The petitioners, including Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, Nakuru-based doctor Magare Gikenyi, Eliud Matindi, and other activists, claim the appointment process violates the Constitution and statutory provisions governing the recruitment of officials to independent commissions.
