Keep off harambees or be ready to go to jail, governors told

Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero and Kamacharia MCA Joseph Machiri at a fundraiser in Murang’a earlier this year. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has told county leaders to stop participating in such events.

NAIROBI, KENYA: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has sent jitters down the spines of governors and MCAs who take part in harambees.

The commission has threatened to prosecute those who engage in fundraisers, saying they are breaching the Leadership and Integrity Act 2012 and the Public Officer Ethics Act 2003.
