Mwingi Central MP Gideon Mulyungi is supporting calls for the Ethics and Ant-Corruption Commission's disbandment.
Mulyungi argues that EACC has failed Kenyans in the fight against corruption, hence it is time for it to go.
Speaking to journalists at Parliament Buildings in Nairobi on Thursday, the Wiper lawmaker said it is pointless for Kenyans to continue funding the Eliud Wabukala led commission.
He said since its formation, the anti-graft agency has not shown any commitment to fight corruption.
“EACC is consuming taxpayer’s money yet it has nothing to show for it in terms of fighting corruption,” Mulyungi said.
Mulyungi said the commission should be disbanded and its powers given to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) or the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
He noted that under EACC’s watch, the country has lost billions of shillings with culprits walking scot free.
On Wednesday, Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior questioned the EACC performance.
Kilonzo said as Senate, they are not satisfied with the work the commission is doing.
Aldai MP Cornely Serem has filed a petition seeking for the anti-graft agency's disbandment.
Serem argues that EACC is toothless in fighting graft hence its powers and resources should be shifted somewhere else.
The anti-graft agency has, however, defended its performance.
The commission's chairman, Wabukala told the Senate's Legal Affairs Committee that they are active and have forwarded several high voltage corruption files to the DPP.
Wabukala said they have recommended prosecution of four governors, several MPs and Principal Secretaries over various alleged corruption cases.
