I am a complete greenhorn in what is at stake here. What is the this deadline on this Anglo-leasing saga about? What is it supposed to accomplish? What does one gain by putting a deadline on the case failure to which it is closed?
A parliamentary committee has given the anti-corruption commission and the prosecutor nine days to either take suspects in the Anglo-Leasing cases to court or close the files.
The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee Thursday decided to put the deadline on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Director of Public Prosecutions to put the protracted matter to the rest.
“We have asked them to, by the end of this month, either take the people to court or close the file,” said the Justice and Legal Affairs committee chairman, Mr Samuel Chepkong’a after a closed-door meeting in Parliament.
Ethics team chairman Mumo Matemu, commissioner Jane Onsongo and Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko attended the meeting.
Mr Chepkong’a said his team had decided that it would take “remedial action” if the deadlines are not met.
He said if team was unable to conclude the investigation and take the files to Mr Tobiko, they would be considered to have been incompetent, said Mr Chepkong’a.

Interesting. What "remedial action" and on what legal basis? And weren't we told last week that cases would be in court starting this week? Ati put it to rest. How many times has this matter been "put to rest", only to be resurrected to fool Kenyans that something is being done about corruption?

How do you prosecute people who you are paying and sharing the loot with?

To me. It seems like they want to close that file. Everyone knows the bahindi-front will not be charged. The same corruption these committees are investigating plagues them.
EACC is a waste of money.
