Civil society groups demand action against Oparanya over corruption case

A coalition of civil society organisations under the National Integrity Alliance is demanding immediate action by the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission against Co-operatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya. This follows a High Court ruling that revived the legal basis for prosecuting Oparanya over alleged corruption. The groups want the two agencies to implement the court's judgment delivered on October 2, which declared the DPP's decision to withdraw the charges against Oparanya unconstitutional.
