Are you ready to sharpen your investigative edge and uncover the secrets behind financial crime detection? Join the upcoming Financial Investigations Workshop by the Kenya Ethics & Anti-Corruption Academy and gain practical insights from industry experts.
The Mombasa County Integrity Assurance Officers (IAO) Training Programme successfully concluded today under the able leadership of Ms. Zuhura Mzee.
The programme was supported by our development partner, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Nations do not fail because they lack talent. They fail when systems tolerate ethical compromise and at the center of those systems is Human Resource. Glad that HR will be at the front line to champion ethical leadership.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is this week hosting regional anti-corruption authorities in Nairobi, marking a renewed push to tackle cross-border corruption and illicit financial flows.
The conference, convened under the banner of the Eastern Africa Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (EAAACA), brings together agencies from eight countriesโUganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Djibouti, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congoโunder the theme โUnmasking Beneficial Ownership in the Fight Against Corruption and Recovery of Assets.โ
Speaking during the official opening, EAAACA President and Inspector General of Government of Uganda, Naluze Aisha Batala, called for enhanced collaboration among member agencies. She highlighted key milestones achieved by the association, including the harmonization of anti-corruption laws across member states, the publication of Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) Guidelines to support investigations and asset recovery, and strengthened regional capacity-building efforts.
EAAACA Vice President and EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi A. Mohamud echoed these sentiments, noting significant progress in information sharing among agencies. He said the removal of bureaucratic barriers has facilitated mutual legal assistance and accelerated investigations. He also underscored Kenyaโs commitment to beneficial ownership transparency, citing amendments to the Companies Act that institutionalized the maintenance of a beneficial ownership register under the Business Registration Service.
EAAACA continues to play a central role in strengthening the regionโs anti-corruption framework through capacity development, coordination, and collaboration among member institutions. The association also provides a platform for heads of agencies to exchange best practices, engage jointly with international partners, and pursue asset recovery efforts.
The meeting has drawn representatives from Financial Intelligence Units, asset recovery agencies, anti-corruption authorities, law enforcement bodies, prosecution services, oversight institutions, the private sector, and development partners.
The conference, which includes the Annual General Meetings of EAAACA and the Asset Recovery Inter-Agency Network for Eastern Africa, will run until Friday, April 24.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has commenced an induction programme for over 80 newly recruited staff members, with a formal opening ceremony held on Tuesday, 7th April 2026, at the Kenya School of Government, Kabete.
Speaking during the opening session, the Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Abdi A. Mohamud, congratulated the new officers on their successful recruitment and welcomed them to the Commission, describing their appointment as both an honour and a national duty.
He noted that EACC operates within a clear constitutional and legislative mandate to combat and prevent corruption. However, he emphasized that the evolving nature of corruption now characterized by complex financial schemes, digital concealment, and systemic vulnerabilities demands vigilance, innovation, and unwavering commitment.
โThe expectations of the public have grown significantly. Your joining the Commission comes at a critical time when the fight against corruption requires fresh energy, integrity, and professionalism,โ he stated.
The CEO highlighted key priority areas for the Commission, including enhanced monitoring of capital-intensive projects, tackling bribery at service delivery points, strengthening asset recovery efforts, and deepening collaboration with regulatory and professional bodies to promote compliance and accountability.
In her welcoming remarks, the Deputy Director, Human Resource Management, Mrs. Petronila Kyengo, challenged the new officers to uphold the highest standards of personal integrity, stressing that ethical conduct is non-negotiable. She further called for high performance, accountability, discipline, and teamwork, noting that corruption is interconnected and requires coordinated institutional responses.
The two-week induction programme is designed to equip the officers with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to contribute effectively to the Commissionโs mandate. Participants were encouraged to actively engage, ask questions, and fully immerse themselves in the learning process.
Mr. Mohamud expressed confidence in the new teamโs ability to make meaningful contributions and officially declared the induction programme open.
