Campaigners 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 told the BBC's Network Africa.
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.
Mr Muite said Mr Ringera's reappointment was illegal, as parliament was supposed to consider a shortlist of candidates before an appointment was made.
Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) advisory board chairman Okong'o Omogeni said he was angry that the board had not been consulted.
The KACC head is Kenya's best paid civil servant, earning 2.5m shillings ($34,000; £21,000) a year - more than the president.
Mr Ringera's spokesman has said he would not comment at the moment.
He has previously defended the lack of convictions by saying he does not have the powers to prosecute those accused of corruption.
