According to Wandayi, there is no need of disbanding EACC since Wabukala is the problem.

This is after a section of Members of Parliament called for the removal of EACC due to the failure of fighting corruption.

Wandayi stated that now that Auditor General Edward Ouko's tenure will end in a year, he might be the right person to head the EACC.

"EACC chair Eliud Wabukala was my archbishop. He is a good man in spiritual nourishment but perhaps he was given a responsibility way above his capacity," the MP said.

The vocal MP said that new tactics are needed for the war on graft to be successful.

"It is time to support all institutions constituted to fight corruption," he said during the funeral of Ouko's mother in Ugunja.

EACC has been on the receiving after investigative agencies took over the Sh9 billion scam at the National Youth Service.
