In the midst of alleged internal wrangles between EACC and DCI, thirteen candidates have been shortlisted for interviews on Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission CEO office with interviews settled on November 27.
Deputy CEO Michael Mubea, who has been having unending wrangles with outgoing CEO Halache Waqo, is among those set to be interviewed.
Others shortlisted for interviews are Ms Sarah Kilemi, National Police Service Commission board official Murshid Mohamed, Mr James Warui, Mr Vincent Omari, Mr Jillo Kasse, Mr Chege Thenya, Mr Reuben Chirchir, Mr Cyrus Oguna, Mr Abdi Mohamud, Mr Twalib Mbarak, Mr Joel Mabonga and Ms Lucy Wanja.
Mr Waqo took office in January 2013, when EACC replaced the now defunct Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission.The EACC chief executive post is a one term, non-renewable contract of six years.
Mr Waqo's tenure in office that saw him at first work with Mumo Matemu and now Rev Eliud Wakukala has seen public outcry intensify over many 'raids and little convictions'.
Names of successful applicants will be forwarded to National Assembly for vetting even as President Uhuru Kenyatta seemingly shifts investigative powers on corruption to DCI and DPP.
During his Europe trip recently, Uhuru insisted that the fight against corruption is among the top of his legacy agenda to the country.
Those to be interviewed will have to present a degree from at least a recognised public university, Helb clearance and certificate of good conduct.
