The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Agency has recommended that Mr. Steven Maina Githaiga, the Managing Director of Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA), be suspended with immediate effect until investigations into his conduct are concluded. The Commission commenced investigations into allegations that Mr. Githaiga falsified his date of birth on his National Identity Card in order to continue being in employment past the retirement age.

Considering the applicable law, Mr. Githaiga’s conduct constitutes serious ethical breaches contrary to the integrity and ethical requirements governing the conduct of state and public officers as laid out in various anti-corruption laws.
