The EACC has escalated its efforts in the fight against corruption by unveiling a five-year strategic plan
that aligns with the government’s bottom-up economic approach, signaling a heightened commitment
to combat graft.
The government, led by Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi, is urging two Members of Parliament, Peter
Kaluma from Homabay and Geoffrey Ruku from Mbeere North, to retract their proposed bills related to
corruption, which have been criticized as regressive.
Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Corporations has called into question the roles of state-owned
corporations, instructing them to operate under the authority of the Prime CS, who will oversee their
functions.
There are also calls to enhance the integrity body, EACC, by addressing its staffing shortage, as it
currently operates with only 700 staff members, which falls short of the required 1500 personnel.
Kenyans and stakeholders have been urged to collaborate in the battle against a menace that has
resulted in significant financial losses, amounting to billions of shillings.
