Can EACC pursue corruption offenses committed by Kenyans living outside the country?

Yes. Under Section 67 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, a Kenyan national may be brought before Kenyan courts for corruption offences or economic crimes committed in a foreign country if the conduct in question would amount to corruption or economic crime had it taken place in Kenya.

In addition, a Kenyan who commits an economic crime and flees to a foreign country remains liable for prosecution before Kenyan courts.
