Chief Justice David Maraga has expressed confidence that the new EACC chairperson Eliud Wabukala is up to to the task at the commission.
Speaking during the swearing in of Wabukala, Maraga said that he was confident that Wabukala will finish his tenure at the commission unlike his predecessors.
"You are up to the challenge and I am sure you will discharge your duties. Corruption in this country has reached endemic proportions. The dragon must be dealt with otherwise the economy will be ruined," said Maraga.
Maraga further stated that Wabukala's Christian background was perfect for the EACC job.
" This is one of the public office that is increasingly acquiring the ignominy of a cursed career. You must also be aware of the fact that this job has the highest birth and death rate in public service. But someone has to do it and i am glad that the country has turned to a man of faith in the person of the Archbishop Wabukala," said Maraga.
