Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji has come to the rescue of the embattled graft watchdog, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
The Eliud Wabukhala-headed body has been largely silent over the recent series of graft revelations and the probe that has since commenced, with a section of leaders accusing the commission of incompetence and calling for it's disbandment.
In an exclusive interview aired on Citizen TV's bulletin on Wednesday, the DPP faulted the accusations, noting that the commission has taken responsibility and is carrying out its end of the assignment allocated to it by the constitution.
"EACC is not silent. A similar job is ongoing on its side and Kenyans will soon see a similar approach like the one we have taken," said Haji who has since succeeded in nabbing a number of suspects implicated in the National Youth Service (NYS) saga.
This comes at a time when suspects of the close to 9 billion shilling scam at the body have since been arraigned in court and remanded awaiting further legal proceedings.
The team is led by Youth Affairs Principal Secretary Lilian Omollo and National Youth Service Director General Richard Ndubai who have been largely mentioned in the scandal.
