The Director of Immigration Jane Waikenda was this afternoon rushed
to hospital after she collapsed at the Ethic and Anti Corruption
Commission (EACC) compound where she was being taken for grilling over
alleged irregular issuance of work permits to foreigners. Waikenda had
been picked up from her office at Nyayo House at about 10am and was
being taken to Integrity building for questioning when she collapsed.
According to EACC officers there had been reliable complaints over the
manner in which the permits were being issued before they launched the
probe. Since she took over the office last year, there have been major
changes on operations at the immigration office. She came into office
with a slogan of fast delivery of services. But since then, hundreds of
foreigners have been complaining that their permits were being cancelled
by immigration officials and issued to others. She was admitted at the
Nairobi Hospital where officials say the EACC detectives will wait for
her to recuperate before they question her.
