Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has officially refuted claims that its investigations are targeted at specific regions, asserting that its work is national and guided by law rather than geography or politics.Â
EACC CEO Abdi Mohamud stated that “the problem of corruption exists everywhere” and cautioned against isolating any single region as if corruption were unique to it.
The commission confirmed it is currently conducting investigations across all five northern counties and has forwarded several files to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) recommending charges against senior officials, including a city governor.
The EACC dismissed social media reports that purported to rank Kenyan counties as the “most” or “least” corrupt, labeling them as fake and misleading.
The commission emphasized that all official findings are published in quarterly and annual reports, which are duly gazetted and shared on the official EACC website and verified social media accounts. Members of the public are urged to rely on verified data available on the EACC official portal.
