The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) will on
Monday, release its Annual Report detailing the agency’s activities and
performance for the 2024/2025 Financial Year.
The report will provide a comprehensive account of
corruption cases reported to the agency, the investigations undertaken, and the
number of files forwarded to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions
(ODPP) with recommendations for prosecution.
It will also outline cases concluded in court during the
year, the value of unexplained wealth seized, stolen public assets recovered,
and corruption networks dismantled.
It further highlights individuals and companies implicated
in various graft schemes, offering a snapshot of trends and patterns in Kenya’s
anti-corruption landscape.
The launch will take place at the EACC Headquarters,
Integrity Centre, beginning at 9:00am.
The event will be presided over by EACC Chairperson David
Oginde and the Commission CEO, Abdi Mohamud.
Both officials are expected to address the media and respond
to questions on ongoing and emerging issues in the national fight against
corruption.
The release of the Annual Report is a statutory requirement
and forms part of the Commission’s mandate to keep the public informed on
progress made, challenges encountered, and strategic interventions deployed in
combating graft across the country.
IEBC sets stakeholders’ forum to review November 27
By-Elections
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)
will on Monday convene a stakeholders’ engagement forum to review the November
27 by-elections.
The meeting will bring together political parties,
independent candidates, civil society organisations, election observers and
state agencies involved in managing electoral processes.
In a statement, the Commission said post-election reflection
remains essential to strengthening Kenya’s democratic systems.
“Engagement with stakeholders allows us to evaluate what
worked well, address challenges observed on polling day, and enhance
preparedness for future electoral events,” IEBC noted.
The forum aims to facilitate a candid assessment of the
mini-polls, identify gaps that emerged, and collect feedback that will guide
the Commission’s policy and operational reforms.
IEBC said the input gathered will be used to improve future
electoral planning, technology deployment, logistical arrangements and voter
management.
The review comes amid concerns raised by several
civil-society organisations, which cited reports of irregularities, isolated
violence and voter intimidation in parts of the country during the
by-elections.
