The Commission on Administrative Justice has asked
Parliament to ament four Acts to force elected leaders
out of office when integrity issues are raised against
them.
Speaking after the signing of a memorandum of
understanding between the commission and the
Intergovernmental Standing Committee on Shipping,
Ombudsman chairman Otiende Amollo said
reviewing these pieces of legislation would compel
elected leaders adversely mentioned in corruption
cases to step aside and allow for investigations.
Dr Amollo said there was a gap in dealing with the
legislative arm of the government since the Executive
does not have absolute powers to eject them from
office.
"It has become difficult to compel leaders in
Parliament and counties to comply with the Executive
directive of the President because of a legislation gap.
"The only legitimate remedy is for Parliament to re-
examine the laws dealing with corruption and
integrity and put into place mechanisms stating that
when you have been accused of corruption, you leave
office pending investigation," he said.
