The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is Kenya’s national body mandated to combat and prevent corruption through law enforcement, public education, and promotion of ethical standards in public service.
The EACC is mandated to prevent and combat corruption, promote ethical standards, and enforce integrity in public service across Kenya.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) was established to lead Kenya’s fight against corruption, replacing KACC in 2011, with a focus on ethics, prevention, and law enforcement.
The EACC leadership team comprises experienced professionals committed to upholding integrity, guiding strategic direction, and overseeing the Commission’s operations in the fight against corruption across Kenya.
The mandate of the Commission is derived from the provisions of Articles 79 and 252 of the Constitution, The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2011, and the Leadership and Integrity Act, 2012. Parliament enacted the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2011 and Leadership and Integrity Act, 2012 to provide, inter alia for the functions and powers of the Commission as well as its critical place in the implementation of Chapter Six of the Constitution. The Acts are being implemented alongside the Anti-Corruption and Economics Crimes Act (ACECA) of 2003.
The Commission shall have all powers generally necessary for the execution of its functions under the Constitution, this Act, and any other written law. Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), the Commission shall have the power to :–
Educate and create awareness on any matter within the Commission's mandate
Undertake preventive measures against unethical and corrupt practices
Conduct investigations on its own intiative or on a complaint made by any person
Conduct mediation, conciliation and negotiation.
