Anti-graft top brass official Rose Mgoi Macharia wants the court to throw out an application requiring to investigate her conduct with a colleague Deputy CEO Michael Mubea.
She filed grounds of opposition in a case where activist Okiya Omutata is accusing her of hatching a plan to have EACC Chairman Phillip Kinisu kicked out of office.
Ms Macharis says that the application by Omutata has no merit and should be dismissed.
“Having being appointed under in procedure laid out in section 6 of the Ethics and Anti-corruption Act 2011 the allegations made against me have already been considered and determined as being baseless and without merit,” she argues.
In her response filed at the Milimani Law Courts Macharia says that the court has no jurisdiction to hear and or determine the application by Omutata.
Omutata wants EACC deputy CEO Michael Mubea and Ms Macharia be named as respondents and not interested party saying that the change is necessary so as to enable him demonstrate that the crisis at the EACC is fueled by the two who are threatened by the changes being fronted by their boss Philip Kinisu.
Omutata further alleges that Deputy CEO Michael Mubea protected four companies at the center of the Anglo-leasing scam.
He says there is correspondence between Mubea and M/s VA Nyamodi and Co Advocates (on behalf of the four Anglo Leasing companies – Sound Day Corporation, Apex Finance, Globetel Incorporated and Midland Finance Securities.
Omtatah says Mubea usurped the powers of the commission to reach a plea-bargain settlement with the suspects.
In the main application, Omtatah wants Mubea compelled to make a full disclosure about 50.4 million shillings . The money was allegedly paid to him in April last year through a law firm.
