EACC breaks silence on reports on corruption investigation against two Ruto CSS and aides

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) flags a letter detailing investigations against two Ruto CSS and aides over corruption.

EACC maintained that the letter, which was addressed to the State House, did not emanate from the commission.

The commission therefore urged the members of the public to disregard the letter which was widely circulated on social media on Thursday, March 28.

In the fake letter, it was purported that there were investigations against Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and his Transport counterpart Kipchumba Murkomen for various graft cases.

However, the specific cases that were being investigated were not listed.

Also listed in the letter were National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, Kapsabet MP Oscar Sudi, and President William Ruto’s close aide Farouk Kibet.

“This letter is fake and not from EACC,” the Commission stated.

The authors of the fake letter further alleged that investigations against the Ruto CSs had already been completed.

It was noted that the files were also submitted to the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) for further analysis and publication.

Notably, one of the anomalies identified in the viral letter was the dates.

The fake letter was dated 2018 and addressed to Joseph Kinyua who served as the Head of Public Service.
