The duo, through lawyer Duncan O’kubasu, says the anti-graft body acting through the Inspector General of Police has been "harassing, victimising and intimidating" them and their families in the name of investigating compensation into the SGR and the two roads.
As a result, Joash has been sent on compulsory leave and service delivery at the lands commission has been interrupted.
“The anti-graft commission's actions show a deliberate attempt to use the state machinery as a sword of oppression to victimise, intimidate and harass them, their colleagues and family members under the pretext of carrying out investigations,” the two said.
Joash wants the court to suspend the directive of the EACC to the NLC, recommending that he be sent on compulsory leave.
Also sought is an order restraining the EACC from issuing threats, summons to the petitioners, their colleagues and confiscating any property, files or documents or in any manner interfering with the functioning of the NLC or its officers under the 'guise' of conducting investigations.
