The Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission must uphold neutrality in its operations.

It owes it to Kenyans to remain as objective as possible in the discharge of its duties, especially since it has access to privileged and sensitive information.

I was surprised that the reports on the maize and education scams were released at about the same time, despite happening at different times. Someone must be playing politics at KACC.

Political slaves

The graft body ought to release its findings promptly, in order to guard against politicians using them to settle scores.

With the country suffering from many economic crimes, it is prudent for the anti-corruption organ to follow in the footsteps of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.

I applaud the KNCHR for upholding professionalism in the discharge of its duties, making it one of the most trusted constitutional bodies in Kenya.

The ball is in the court of KACC to execute their duties accordingly.

Please, do not allow yourselves to be manipulated by either of the coalition partners.

We cannot afford to lose the war on graft. Being partisan is the surest way of losing this war.
