Is KACC’s demise symptomatic of a rogue Parliament keen to perpetuate its ills?

Yes, when politicians choose to conspire to protect their interests, they become resolute in their actions and cross party lines with only one expected outcome – political capture. That is what informed the bipartisan position against a move by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to implement requirements of the new Constitution, which demands that anyone earning an income must meet their tax obligations.

Again, it is what informed last week’s unity of purpose, by the politicians, to disband the current top leadership of Kenya Anti-corruption Commission (KACC) in the transitioning to the new institution created by the Constitution, the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission.
