The fight against corruption in Kenya has been an everyday tune. A perfect solution has never been found. Everyday their is a new case that is being reported on the issue of corruption.

But it seems the country is now going for the people with the heart of a lion to help curb the vice of graft that is eating away the country’s economy.

The new man to watch is Twalib Mbarak.

The committee found the nominee suitable for appointment to the position of Chief Executive Officer at the anti-graft agency for the next six years.

“The committee recommends that pursuant to the provision of Section 16 (1) of the EACC Act, the House approves the nomination of Mbarak for appointment as CEO of EACC by the appointing authority,” the report states in part.

During this afternoon’s session, MPs are expected to either endorse or reject Mbarak’s nomination to the top seat.

Cheptumo had earlier told the media that the nominee’s fate squarely lies on the MPs who will make their decision in the afternoon session.

“I hope and I am very certain that members will look at the report and debate on the suitability of the nominee and make a decision either way. The decision to approve or reject the nominee lies with members,” Cheptumo said.

The cutting edge that won him the approval

During his vetting last week, Mbarak told MPs: “I have the skin of a rhino because I started taking risks at an early age. I know exactly what I am getting myself into”.

He said corruption was posing a threat to national security and pledged to dismantle its networks by implementing the multi-sectoral approach.

He said he doesn’t engage in any business, putting his net-worth as Sh152 million.

“I only write articles on security intelligence as a hobby whenever I am requested and I actually don’t earn anything from them. My wife is a housewife who takes care of me and my children,” Mbarak said.

He is currently working at the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) as security and integrity manager.
