Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko trained his guns at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission after a frustrating summon on September 4, by the agency over suspicious garbage collection tenders issued by the county.
On Wednesday, October 23, during an interview with Tony Gachoka on KTN News' Pointbank, Sonko disclosed that he had privately investigated the agency and had summed up dossiers against them.
The controversial governor stated that he had a file that had over 4000 documents and he intended to present to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"I will leave this copy of this file with you (Tony Gachoka) and one I will take to Kenyatta. There is a case I was pursuing within Nairobi City and were wanted a report from Integrity House.
"I myself am investigating the EACC. As Kenya Revenue Authority pushes us to pay our taxes as a county, we the county also push our residents to pay their taxes," Sonko revealed while playing coy on the details of his supposed investigation.
Sonko on Tuesday, September 3, spent over 9 hours at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) after he was summoned by the commission to answer questions relating to garbage disposal tenders awarded to 13 firms by City Hall.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, whom Sonko intends to seek audience from after his investigation of the anti-corruption body, has been vocal on his dissociation with corrupt leaders in Kenya.
On August 20, while in Mombasa, Kenyatta vowed that there would be no mercy or preferential treatment for those involved in graft.
“Do not say I have sent anyone when you get caught. You have been caught with your hand in the jar," he stressed.
During Mashujaa Day celebrations in Mombasa on Sunday, October 20, there was drama in the VIP dias after Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu was chased from the prestigious section.
