Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has accused the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) of planing to lock him out of the Nairobi gubernatorial race.
Kidero who is seeking re-election on an ODM ticket has accused the anti graft body of working with government operatives to frustrate his efforts.
His sentiments coming as the Eliud Wabukala led commission presented a damning report over integrity concerns against Kidero to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission just a day after he was cleared to contest.
Kidero who got cleared on Friday has blamed the Jubilee Party of working with the commission to ensure he is blocked from defending his seat.
Kidero, who accuses EACC of malice and witch hunt says he does not have any ongoing or pending cases under investigations saying that all audit queries against him have been cleared by the directorate of criminal investigations, KRA, EACC itself before getting a green light from IEBC.
Speaking while attending a church service at Kayole SDA church, Kidero told EACC and IEBC to refrain from politics to ensure credibility.
Kidero is among county bosses that have been on the radar of EACC.
