Imenti Central MP Gitobu Imanyara wants the president cited for contempt of parliament for failing to gazette all the nominees to the Kenya Anti Corruption body.

This follows failure by President Kibaki to accept Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya- ICPAK nominee Billow Kerrow to sit in the anti graft body's advisory board.

The nominees were endorsed by parliament in February and last Thursday the Imenti Central MP had moved to seek a ministerial statement demanding an explanation as to why the President had refused to assent to the names contrary to the law which specify that the assent or rejection should be done within 14 days of parliament's endorsement.

But on Friday in a surprise move the President gazetted all the nominees with the exception of Billow Kerrow.

Imanyara is seeking direction from the speaker over the matter claiming that the President's action is demeaning to parliament that had endorsed all the nominees.

Former Mandera Central MP Billow Kerrow was among nine people nominated by Parliament.

Other nominees are Mr John Khameme (Kenya Bankers Association), Mrs Jacqueline Mugo (Federation of Kenya Employers), Mr Reuben Kosgei (Institute of Engineers of Kenya) and Dr Abdallah Athman Kibwana (Kenya Medical Association) were approved.

Others are Mr Suru Tana (Kenya Association of Manufacturers), Ms Irene Keino (Architectural Association of Kenya), Ms Grace Kaome Injene (Association of Professional Societies of East Africa) and Mr Francis Wangara (Central Organisation of Trade Union).

The KACC Act states that the director and assistant directors should be recommended by the Advisory Board and approved by the National Assembly for appointment.

The speaker will deliver his direction in two weeks.
