The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Judiciary have been directed to probe suspected mismanagement within the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme.

This directive was issued by the National Assembly's Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation (CII), which is chaired by Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie.

The move followed a session held at Parliament Buildings on Tuesday, during which the committee reviewed a petition filed by distressed KBC pensioners.

The petitioners raised concerns over unremitted staff deductions amounting to Ksh3.27 billion, as well as a contentious legal fee demand of Ksh1.4 billion.
