Suspended Land Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu is Tuesday
morning set to meet officers of the anti-graft agency at Integrity
Centre in Nairobi over impropriety allegations levelled against her.
Mrs Ngilu, who was forced to step aside, is understood to have spent part of the Easter holiday preparing her defence.
Ethics
and Anti-Corruption Commission spokesman Yasin Amaro Monday said Chief
Registrar of Lands Sarah Mwendwa would also appear before the officers
Tuesday morning.
Nairobi County Chief Finance Officer Jimmy Kiamba is expected at the EACC offices on Thursday.
In
a dossier handed over to Parliament by President Uhuru Kenyatta, Mrs
Ngilu is accused of impropriety involving land belonging to Mr Evanson
Waitiki in Likoni, Mombasa, a Sh8 billion piece of land in Karen and
dealings involving a plot on State House Crescent.
At
the same time, members of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants
of Kenya want to be part of a team investigating fraud cases against the
175 people named by the anti-graft watchdog.
The accountants wrote to the anti-graft agency last Thursday, expressing their wish to take part in the investigations.
They said the anti-corruption agency cannot adequately investigate financial fraud cases.
“The institute members are willing to offer their services to the EACC at short notice,” says the letter.
