The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has summoned 39 directors and deputy directors in various departments of the Busia County Government to appear before it from Monday over employment irregularities.
The directors have been asked to appear before EACC officers in Bungoma in person to shed light on how they were employed.
This follows allegations of nepotism and corruption during their employment early this year.
“The commission pursuant to its constitutional and statutory mandate as set out under Article 252 (1) (a) (d) of the Constitution, Section 11 of the EACC Act 2011 and Section 4 (2) and 42 (10) of the Leadership and Integrity Act 2012, is carrying out investigations on allegations of irregular recruitment of Directors and Deputy Directors by the County Service Board of Busia,” reads part of the letter addressed to the county secretary.
It adds: “To facilitate the investigations, kindly inform below-listed officers to kindly avail themselves for interviews and statement recordings at our offices located at Daima Plaza 2nd floor Bungoma town as per the schedule below.”
The first bunch of directors were required to appear before the commission on Monday from 9 a.m., with the last on November 20.
