Mumo Matemu, Irene Keino tell of attempts to force their resignation from EACC

Kenya’s anti-corruption agency chairman Mumo Matemu and commissioner Irene Keino have spoken about attempts to force them to resign.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission bosses told reporters on Wednesday that the resignations were intended to lead to the disbanding of the commission.
They said they would not resign despite the pressure.
Ms Keino said she and fellow commissioner Jane Onsongo were called to a meeting on Tuesday where they were asked to resign but refused. However, Mrs Onsongo later changed her mind, she said.
Ms Keino said she had been promised a deputy ambassador’s position in Brazil in order to resign.
