VVS,

If i were Ring-error,i would not take this appointment simply because Kifaki says so.I would trust my conscience not to allow me earn from taxpayers for doing nothing.....Think about it.There are roughly 10M households in Kenya.To keep Ring-error going each month,he needs to rob 25 cents from each household,including the very wretched of northern Kenya.......HE SHOULD BE SHAMED.

Old man about town....

@njung'e...
You are the only sober gemaist on sk esp on 'our time to eat' philosophy.
Others are social cliques to the pot-bellied eaters.

I wholly concur with you 'Mr. Tea'. First the controversy here is about Ringera earning 2.5 million shillings a month. Of all the MPs protesting there is not one saying that the head of KACC should not be earning so much only that Ringera should not be the one to earn it. I also do not think people realise just how 'powerless' KACC is. As it is constituted all KACC does is investigate and recommend prosecution. It has no power whatsoever to prosecute 'even a rat' as Atwoli would say. The power of prosecution lies solely with the Attorney General who is not under any obligation to accept the recommendations of KACC. If there has been a failure in the so called 'fight against corruption' you cannot accuse KACC without faulting the Attorney General,in fact strictly speaking it is only the Attorney General who has the powers to vet the performance of KACC since he is the recipient of their work. The public is not a consumer of KACC investigation reports and we would only get to hear corruption cases if they were prosecuted but since very few have we are not in position to know whether the failure is with KACC or the AG.
My personal feeling on this matter is that KACC as a body is totally irrelevant since corruption is a crime that could have been tackled within the existing structures of the office of the AG. They could have created a department within the AGs office to deal with specific corruption matters instead of creating this parallel body of overpaid people. I even suspect the failure to prosecute could be because of the envy and jealousy between the two institutions. I can imagine a lawyer in the AGs office who earns a fraction of what his counterpart in KACC earns despite being as qualified would not be too enthusiastic to pursue a case brought in by the latter.
I want the president to stand up with Ringera. The MPs to deny KACC money to run it and bring it to an end. To have a Macharia,Otieno,Mogaka,Rotich or Wafula earning 30 million shillings a year for nothing will not help us. I believe it is also somewhere in Ringera's contract that if he were to be fired now that he has been reappointed he would have to be paid the whole 150 million for his entire term!!!!

I think the AG is a major culprit in cushioning impunity,he manipulates the law to shield certain individuals. So AG and Ringera should all Go!!!
