On Moi Day the 10th October 2007, President Mwai Kibaki signed his name giving his assent to a new Section 25A of the Anti Corruption and Economic Crimes Act which authorizes the cessation of investigations by the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission. The problem is this was done wholly without parliamentary approval or authority as required by the Constitution of Kenya. In effect the President legislated and made Kenyan Law alone – an unconstitutional and illegal act. If Section 25A is not repealed the cause of justice for the people of Kenya will suffer, and the government will have an easy way to abandon the investigation of corruption and economic crimes.

As if to compound matters the new Section 25A reintroduces the rejected idea of amnesty for corruption and economic crimes. Worse it goes ahead and allows the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC) in consultation with the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs and the Attorney General to give “undertakings” including to the subject of corruption investigations “not to institute or continue with investigations against any person suspected of an offence under this Act.”
