Civil society groups demand action against Oparanya over Ksh.56.7M million graft claims

The groups want the two agencies to implement a High Court judgment delivered on October 2, which declared the DPP's decision to withdraw corruption charges against Oparanya in 2024 unconstitutional.

A coalition of civil society organisations under the National Integrity Alliance is demanding immediate action by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) against Co-operatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya over alleged corruption.

The groups want the two agencies to implement a High Court judgment delivered on October 2, which declared the DPP's decision to withdraw corruption charges against Oparanya in 2024 unconstitutional.

Operating under the National Integrity Alliance, the organisations have petitioned the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the EACC, calling for the court's orders to be fully implemented.

Inuka Kenya Ni Sisi Chief Executive Officer Kawive Wambua said the petition seeks to ensure the court's orders are enforced and that the two agencies respect their respective constitutional mandates.

"The petition seeks to ensure that the effect of the court orders is given, and that the respective constitutional mandates of the ODPP and EACC are respected," Wambua stated.

The coalition argues that the ODPP acted outside its mandate by reviewing and withdrawing the earlier decision to prosecute Oparanya.
