Ruto US Ambassador Apointee Ezra Chiloba Faces Parliamentary Vetting Commitee After He Was Cleared By EACC
The parliamentary vetting committee faces a busy morning today with confirmation hearings for seven ambassadorial nominees, including sacked IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba, who is nominated as Kenya’s Consul General to Los Angeles, USA.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had cleared former Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) Director General Ezra Chiloba on alleged irregularities in Communications Authority staff mortgage, citing insufficient evidence.
The commission found that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations made against Chiloba and other accused officials.
“The investigation established that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegation against Ezra Chiloba and other officials of the Authority,” said EACC in a letter dated April 4 but released on Thursday, April 11.
On September 26, 2023, the Commission received allegations of irregularities in the management of the staff mortgage scheme at the CA.
