Senators have cautioned the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) against being used to fight political battles in the country.
Senate County Public Accounts Committee members raised concerns over the arrests of various Governors who were taken to EACC headquarters then the matters drag for very long without being concluded.
The Senators said they will be summoning the EACC CEO Abdi Mohamud to come and explain to them how they conduct their work since the Commission should be fighting corruption and not be seen to be engaging in some public relations exercise.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna said that they would like to see all the Governors whose homes have been raided by EACC and taken for questioning to be charged in court and jailed if found guilty for it serve as a lesson to others and not a political weapon to threaten critics. "We all live in Kenya and know what is happening, it is very wrong to raid a private home, ransack it arrest the owner take him to EACC over alleged corruption allegations and the matter drags on for several years without conclusion," said Sifuna.
