EACC warns MCAs against tender demands

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has challenged Members of the County Assemblies in the Western Region to desist from an emerging pattern in which MCAs demand to be awarded tenders for all works in their respective wards, as well as job opportunities for their relatives and political supporters, including those without qualifications. Speaking in Kakamega while opening the Corruption Prevention Forum for CEC Members and Chief Officers of Kakamega County, EACC Regional Director for Western Kenya, Mr. Eric Ngumbi, revealed that when these demands are not met, the MCAs resort to blackmail County Executive Officials with impeachment or other sanctions.
