EACC summons Nairobi Assembly Majority Leader over unethical conduct

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has summoned the Nairobi County Assembly Majority Leader over alleged misconduct at the county assembly premises.

In a summon letter issued on Tuesday, EACC asked Mr. Ibrahim Abdi Hassan to appear at the anti-graft body headquarters in Nairobi on Wednesday at 10am.

EACC is investigating allegations of unethical conduct by a section of Nairobi MCAs who stormed Speaker Beatrice Elachi’s office on Monday in a bid to eject her.

“The commission would like you to respond to these allegations and record a statement regarding the same. Failure to comply with this notice shall render you liable to penal consequences,” reads part of the letter.

Ms. Elachi, who was impeached on Thursday last week, reported to work on Monday after the labour court stopped her removal.

This prompted the MCAs to storm her office in a bid to physically remove the speaker from office.
