EACC Puts Ruto’s Affordable Housing On The Spot With MASSIVE Integrity Sweep
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has initiated a compliance monitoring exercise for the Affordable Housing Programme as part of efforts to improve transparency, accountability, and integrity in its operation.
The exercise was officially begun at the Affordable Housing Board’s headquarters, Prism Towers.
Throughout the program’s implementation, it will prioritize proactively finding compliance gaps, assessing corruption risks, and recommending preventive measures.
During the launch, EACC’s Vincent Okongo announced that the new affordable housing compliance monitoring system will proactively detect corruption concerns, reinforce integrity safeguards, and ensure more efficient execution of the government’s major programs.
“The exercise is meant to proactively identify compliance gaps, assess risks, and put in place corruption preventive measures during the implementation of the programme,” he stated.

Okongo further stated that the monitoring process will include analyzing existing procedures, assessing risk exposure, and proposing corrective steps to improve compliance with applicable laws, rules, and best practices.
Acting CEO of the Affordable Housing Board, Joseph Kagicha, praised the idea, calling it a timely intervention that will help improve programme governance.
He stated that the Board regards prevention as a critical component in protecting public resources and accomplishing program goals.
Kagicha told the Commission that the Board would fully cooperate throughout the exercise and committed to implementing any suggestions that would result from the monitoring process.
Earlier, an Auditor-General’s report published in January 2026 raised concerns about the accountability of billions of shillings allocated to the scheme.
It also cited instances where documentation to support expenditure was incomplete or unavailable.
The report did not make findings of guilt but recommended further verification and strengthened financial controls.
Lawmakers in the National Assembly have spotlighted serious corruption risks in the affordable housing initiative.
The House highlighted specific accusations that certain contractors bribed public officials to secure contracts or influence decisions.

The revelations have already sparked internal reviews and formal investigations by relevant authorities.
Separately, civil society groups and affected communities raised issues related to land ownership, project siting, and evictions.
They alleged that some developments were initiated on contested land or led to displacement without adequate consultation or compensation.
Oversight, audits, and compliance monitoring exercises are ongoing as part of efforts to address the concerns and strengthen accountability in the implementation of the Affordable Housing Programme.
