MPs will tomorrow hold a special sitting to approve or reject Twalib Mbarak for appointment as anti-graft agency CEO after a House vetting panel endorsed him.
The Justice and Legal Affairs committee, which held a public approval on Friday last week, unanimously recommended that the House ratifies Mbarak’s nomination to head the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission.
The Star has established that the committee chaired by Baringo North MP William Cheptumo completed writing its work over the weekend and will table its approval report before the House tomorrow for debate on his endorsement or rejection.
“We are done with the report and the nominee has been unanimously endorsed,” said a member who declined to be quoted because he is not authorised to speak for the committee.
If approved by the House, Mbarak, 53, – a former military and ex-intelligence officer, will succeed Halakhe Waqo as the EACC chief executive officer for a fixed term of six years.
The Jubilee-controlled House is likely to be boosted by the handshake goodwill to easily endorse Mbarak’s nomination for the eventual appointment to the position regarded a hot seat in the anti-graft war.
