EACC Graft Dossier Tabled In Senate

The Senate has already started debate on the President’s speech during the state of the nation address and the EACC dossier which has forced five cabinet secretaries to step aside.

The EACC dossier has also implicated 13 governors, two senators, 61 MPs and three permanent secretaries in corruption scandals.

The report was tabled by Senate Majority Leader Kithure Kindiki who has called on governors implicated in the dossier to step aside.

However, Senate Minority Leader Moses Wetangula said the president failed to address the issue of tribalism in his address, which he claims is a major problem in the Jubilee Administration.

In the dossier, Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu is accused of inflating the value the controversial Waitiki Farm in Mombasa by Sh110 million with an aim of getting a kick-back of Sh65 million.
