Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission.

On 23 July 2010, Lumumba was named as the new director of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission. He took office on 26 July, succeeding Aaron Ringera. The commission launched several high-profile investigations during his tenure, but none led to significant criminal convictions.

After just over a year in office, on 29 August 2011, Lumumba and his four deputies vacated their offices as required by the recently enacted Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act, which replaced the commission with a new Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. During the parliamentary debate on the new legislation, several politicians had been highly critical of Lumumba's performance.
