Keep off from the fight against corruption, Atwoli tells EACC.

Central Organization of Trade unions (COTU) General Secretary Francis Atwoli has told the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission to completely keep off the fight corruption in the country.

Atwoli says the EACC has completely failed in its fight against the rampant issue of corruption in the country hence need not to go on with fighting the vice.

Addressing participants during the Regional Trade Union Training  on the future of work in Africa at Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu today,Atwoli has claimed that EACC has been a conduit of corruption  in the country hence  can never be entrusted with fighting the vice.

Atwoli has said EACC should now leave the work of fighting corruption in the country to two agencies namely the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Director of Public  Prosecutions (DPP).

He says the two offices led by George Kinoti of DCI and Nordin Haji as the DPP has so far done a commendable work on the fight against the vice where even prominet personalities have been arrested and prosecuted against corruption.

"THE Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission should keep off the fight against corruption in the country simply because it has failed." Atwoli says.

He says those who have been mentioned on various issues like corruption should never be allowed to ascend to senior positions including being the Chief Executive officer of this Country.

He adds that for Kenya and Africa to grow at large,corruption should be stopped at all cost.

"African has great potentials and for it to grow,corruption  must be stopped",Atwoli adds.

Atwoli at the same time said there should be a Cabinet reshuffle by President Uhuru Kenyatta so that the country can move ahead.

He says the current Cabinet should speak with one voice and support the building bridges initiative  that was initiated by President Kenyatta and Opposition Leader Raila Odinga.

"I want to ask President Kenyatta to mobilise his cabinet and let them speak with one voice on this issue of building bridges initiative since it is a good approach for this country to move ahead," Atwoli adds.
