A NASA affiliated MP has dismissed EACC following the commission's decision to raid Migori Governor Okoth Obado's Nairobi and Migori homes.
South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro claimed that EACC is taking advantage of the ODM governor's misfortunes to frustrate and embarrass him politically.
"Governor Okoth Obado was elected by the people of Migori. EACC's decision to raid his home on claims of investigating corruption is unacceptable. The commission is taking advantage of Obado's misfortunes to harass and embarrass him," said the lawmaker.
He insisted that the raid at Obado's home is political and warned the governor's rivals against using dubious means to frustrate the governor who was elected by the people of Migori.
"Obado is being fought by desperate rivals. I am urging the lazy politicians fighting Obado to give him ample time to deliver to the people of Migori County," he added.
The MP argued that EACC raided Obado's homes without any explanation.
"It is illegal for EACC to fail to explain why they raided the governor's home. It is not right and in fact, it was an illegal raid by EACC which should be condemned with the strongest terms possible," he stated.
