Nairobi, 01 Sept-(ANA)-Campaigners and critics have condemned the reappointment of the head of Kenya's anti-corruption agency by President Mwai Kibaki.
"Retired Justice Aaron Ringera has failed to fight corruption in this country," lawyer and former MP Paul Muite said.
Mr Kibaki won elections in 2002 promising to tackle corruption.
But his critics, including Western donors, say little has changed. No senior officials have been convicted.
The prime minister's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) said Mr Kibaki's decision was unacceptable.
"We have rejected it. It is unconstitutional, it is not done in accordance with the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act," said ODM Secretary General Anyang Nyong'o.
He also said Prime Minister Raila Odinga had not been consulted on the move.
Mr Muite said Mr Ringera's reappointment was illegal, as parliament was supposed to consider a shortlist of candidates before an appointment was made. (ANA)
