The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) recently conducted raids on the homes of eight senior officials from Garissa County in Kenya. These raids are part of an investigation into the alleged embezzlement of 1.2 billion Kenyan Shillings (KSh), approximately 11 million USD. The EACC, which is responsible for combating corruption and promoting ethics in public service, acted on intelligence that suggested massive financial irregularities within the county administration.
The targeted officials are suspected of being involved in various corrupt activities, including misappropriation of public funds, fraudulent procurement processes, and other forms of financial misconduct. These activities have reportedly had a significant negative impact on the delivery of essential services in Garissa County, affecting infrastructure projects, healthcare, and other critical sectors.
The EACC’s actions underscore the Kenyan government’s commitment to addressing corruption and holding public officials accountable for their actions. This case is part of a broader effort to improve governance, transparency, and accountability within public institutions across the country. The outcome of the investigation and any subsequent legal actions will be closely watched as a measure of the effectiveness of Kenya’s anti-corruption initiatives.
