Civil society groups in Machakos have sustained the push for increased budgetary allocations to the ethics and anti corruption commission to step up its efforts in weeding out graft in the country. Speaking at a public participation forum, the groups proposed that EACC be allowed to retain a portion of the recovered assets and money to fund its operations. As Laura Otieno reports, the civil society has also callled on parliament to tighten the existing legislation to bar suspects of graft from seeking elective positions.
