EACC probe of graft cases comes to naught

NAIROBI: Some of the high-profile corruption cases investigated by the anti-corruption agency last year risk failing after the High Court declared that it was not properly constituted.

Justice Joseph Onguto ruled that the investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission were unconstitutional and illegal, given that at the time, it lacked the constitutional capacity to undertake the investigations in the absence of commissioners.
