Court ruling that Kenya graft accused must step down likely to have wider impact

Nairobi — in the country, where senior officials are often charged with graft but rarely convicted.

Moses Lenokulal, the governor of Samburu county in central Kenya, was charged in May with corruption and unlawful acquisition of public property. Last Wednesday high court judge Mumbi Ngugi ruled that Lenokulal can visit his office only with the authorisation of the Ethics and Anticorruption Commission, a government antigraft watchdog.

“Let them step aside. In this case the judge has started with those with the most responsibility, and it’s a good thing,” she said. Critics have accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of failing to deal with corruption during his first term, despite his promises to do so when he was elected in 2013. Now more people are being charged, but successful prosecutions are still rare.
