Aaron Ringera who was appointed for the second time by the president of Africa, was stepping down as a chief due to the best interests of the country and its anti-corruption commission as he states. The president had appointed him as the chief of commission without the consent of the parliament, and although the MP's refused to accept his appointment it was already done. The MP's claim that Ringera was ineffective and that the president acted illegally. Immediately after the president, Mwai Kibaki appointed Ringera anti-corruption campaigners began. Previously, Ringera refused prosecute the convicted claiming he doesn't have the power to do so. Supposedly the commission investigated and recommended that eight government officials, four MPs, 11 permanent secretaries, and 65 directors should have been prosecuted.
