Meru, Kenya: Igembe South legislator Mithika Linturi has questioned President Uhuru Kenyatta’s failure to sign into law the Miscellaneous Amendment Bill 2014, which would have strengthened the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission’s (EACC) ability to fight corruption.

According to Mr Linturi, the bill has amendments to various sections, including the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act Clause 62, which would have required public officers with executive authority to step down if implicated in corruption.
