The President unilaterally reappointed Justice Ringera as head of the Anti Corruption Commission. The appointment should have been made according to rules laid down, so Parliament objected and received much support. Today Ringera (who earns more that $7,000 a month) stepped down and the position will be advertised.
Kenya has also agreed to follow the protocol instigated by Kofi Annan. Those accused of inciting violence in 2008 will be investigated and possibly arraigned at the Hague. Although there was the option of an internal tribunal, many opposed it, believing that the possibility of diversion of evidence was too great. Fifteen ministers, MPs and Permanent Secretaries have been told by the US that they will not receive visas because of their involvemnt in corrpution or violence.
Steps forward indeed!
