The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is cracking down on individuals who secured government jobs using fake certificates.
EACC Chairman Bishop Dr. David Oginde announced that several cases are underway, with some offenders already in court.
The commission has successfully recovered properties obtained through these fraudulent means, including land and money.
βThe commission recently handed over to the President some of the properties that we recovered from various individuals, including land, money, and other assets recovered across the country. That was an achievement for us because many people are committed to converting public resources to themselves, and we are saying that cannot continue to happen,β Bishop Oginde explained.
At the annual Citam Church business forum in Eldoret, Bishop Oginde highlighted the widespread issue of corruption in Kenya, noting the challenges the EACC faces due to limited resources.
He emphasized that tackling major corruptionβoften with international tiesβrequires significant funding and manpower.
βInvestigating corruption, especially big corruption, is a very expensive exercise. Many of the big corruptions have international connections, so you find that money that is stolen locally was stashed in another country, and for you to investigate, you require officers to travel to those nations, and that is very expensive. The budget that we are given does not enable us to do our work to the best of our ability,β he noted.
