Officials from the National Anti-Corruption Campaign Steering Committee (NACCSC), led by the Vice-Chairperson, Rev. Jesse Mutura paid a courtesy call on the Commission and Executive Management of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) at Integrity Centre on 26th February, 2018. The meeting was convened to discuss the overall fight against corruption in Kenya and chart the way forward.

The twelve strong NACCSC delegation was hosted by the EACC Chairperson, Archbishop (Rtd.) Eliud Wabukala together with the Commissioners Sophia Lepuchirit-Vice-Chair, Paul Mwaniki Gachoka, Rose Mghoi M. Macharia, Dr. Dabar A. Maalim, Halakhe D. Waqo-Secretary / CEO and Michael Mubea-Deputy CEO – Technical Services. Also present were respective Heads of Directorates at the EACC.

During the meeting, there were calls for greater cooperation between the two institutions, especially in the area of corruption prevention.

The EACC Chairperson spoke of the need to work on the public’s perception on corruption and change the narrative to show that corruption is a war for everyone in Kenya. He also stated that we should make corruption very risky for the perpetrators and make corruption prevention a priority.

On her part, Rev. Mutura thanked the Commission for the collaboration it has had with NACCSC so far and pointed out areas in which there has been support for the campaign. She urged the Commission to use the Committee, which has presence in 26 counties, through County Anti-Corruption Civilian Oversight Committees (CACCOCs), to disseminate information, including success achieved by the EACC in the fight against corruption.

The two institutions reaffirmed their commitment to fighting graft and continued cooperation.
