The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has launched investigations on corruption allegations in the judiciary weeks after under pressure Chief Justice Martha Koome requested the probe.
According to EACC Chairperson David Oginde, the investigations were launched a week ago after the commission met with Koome during the swearing-in of Abdi Mohamud as the new chief executive officer of EACC.
Oginde was speaking on Wednesday while presiding over the launch of the National Integrity Academic Strategic Plan at the Kenya School of Government and said CJ Koome requested the commission's hand to unearth the allegations of bribery within the Judiciary. "We had a meeting with the Chief Justice.
In that meeting, she raised the concern that she is receiving reports that some of her officers are taking bribes and therefore subverting justice.
