OUTRAGEOUS! EACC Reveals 152 Of 166 Gov’t Officials Failed Integrity Tests

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has released its 2024/2025 Annual Report at the Integrity Centre, which shows that 152 of 166 personnel failed integrity exams, four passed, and ten were inconclusive.

The report, released by Chairperson Dr. David Oginde on Monday, December 8, stated that the tests were conducted on government organizations such as KRA, NPS, Eldoret Airport, and the Land Ministry, among others.

Dr. Oginde was accompanied by other commissioners and the CEO, Mr. Abdi Mohamud.

The Commission also stated that 79 asset recovery suits were launched in 2025, the highest number in the previous five years, targeting assets worth Ksh 4.8 billion and successfully recovered Ksh 3.4 billion.

EACC avoided further losses of Ksh 16.5 billion thanks to prompt intelligence measures.

Furthermore, convictions increased dramatically throughout this time span, from 12 to 33, indicating that investigative and prosecutorial efforts had improved.

The commission maintained its excellent performance by preventing 50 people from being appointed to public office in 2024/2025 due to ethical concerns.

Furthermore, the commission stated that it was substantially more involved in multi-agency collaborations and youth engagement activities.

Despite these outstanding advances, the Commission notes that several obstacles remain, including insufficient Chapter Six enforcement, interference with witnesses, officer harassment, institutional silos, and widespread public apathy.

On International Anti-Corruption Day, December 9, the EACC has called for collective accountability and a renewed commitment to integrity and good governance.
