Bashir Abdullahi (Mandera North) met with Deputy CEO, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC),Mr. Abdi Mohamud  regarding an ongoing inquiry into the Conduct of British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK).

In the meeting, EACC disclosed that it had previously received three reports alleging various improprieties, including nepotism, corruption, and labor disputes involving BATUK personnel. However, the Commission deemed these issues beyond its purview.

Mr. Mohamud however pointed out that BATUK falls outside its mandate, despite receiving multiple complaints against the military unit. 

Members  noted that EACC should propose changes in legislation that would enable them to execute their mandate in implementation of Trade, Economic and Corporations Agreements. 

Earlier, Member met with representatives from the Mau Mau Veterans Association and the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), as well as residents of Laikipia, Isiolo, and Samburu counties
