President Uhuru Kenyatta's nominees to the anti-graft agency were yesterday taken to task by Members of the National Assembly on their suitability to give policy direction.

Appearing before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, the nominees Col (Rtd) Alfred Musimba and Dr Monica Wanjiru Muiru were hard pressed to state how they plan to ensure the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) effectively discharges its constitutional mandate.
