Civil society groups in Machakos have sustained the push for
increased budgetary allocations to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission
(EACC) to strengthen its efforts to fight graft in the country.
Speaking at a public participation forum, the groups
proposed that EACC be allowed to retain a portion of recovered assets and funds
to finance its operations.
They also called on Parliament to tighten existing
legislation to bar corruption suspects from seeking elective positions.
