Speaking during the launch on Tuesday, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi underlined the need of everyone's participation in the battle against corruption.

He pointed out that the launch was an assertion that the EACC is a crucial foundation for excellent leadership, honesty, and governance.

Mudavadi added that tolerating corruption and immoral behavior will make it impossible to execute public services with high levels of efficiency and effectiveness.

He made reference to the Leadership and Integrity Act, which forbade public workers from letting their private interests clash with or supersede their official responsibilities.

The EACC supervision standard is established under this act.

According to Mudavadi, "this act establishes the EACC's oversight standard of integrity and ethical conduct of not only the commission's leadership but also demands that the commission does not permit state officers to disregard the values, principles, and provisions of Chapter Six of the Constitution in the discharge of their duties.

Dr. David Oginde, the recently elected chair of the EACC, questioned why our nation talked so much about corruption but didn't appear to want to take any action.

He pointed out that impunity for officials, avarice, and societal support for the corruption culture were the main causes of corruption.

Oginde stated that Kenya has become a global example for the recovery of unaccounted-for riches and that their experience in asset recovery had produced successful outcomes.

Therefore, highly exposed individuals and those with a lot of influence will be the focus of our anti-corruption activities. We're going to pursue those who are stealing from Kenya by leveraging their positions of authority, Oginde said.

He encouraged the administration to take into consideration allocating more funds for the execution of their strategic strategy.

The Auditor General of the Republic of Kenya CPA Nancy Gathungu and Presiding Judge of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crime Division Justice Esther Maina, who were both present at the event, underlined the significance of interdependence among all stakeholders working together to mitigate corruption.

Justice Maina stated, "As the Kenyan Judiciary, we work hand in hand in supporting the realization of the EACC plan," saying it was a tribute to their commitment to guaranteeing justice.

Kenya joins the rest of the world in solidarity with the State of Israel and unequivocally condemn terrorism and attacks on innocent civilians in the country. The people of Kenya and their government hereby express deepest sympathy and send condolences to the families of all victims. We also wish a speedy recovery to the injured. Kenya strongly maintains that there exists no justification whatsoever for terrorism, which constitutes a serious threat to international peace and security. All acts of terrorism and violent extremism are abhorrent, criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of the perpetrator, or their motivations. The international community must mobilise to bring the perpetrators, organizers, financiers, sponsors, supporters and enablers of these reprehensible criminal acts of terrorism to account and speedily bring them to justice. In consideration of the complex and delicate context of the security situation in Israel-Palestine, Kenya also makes a call for the d...
