Among other strategies, the officers were trained on conducting corruption risk assessments to help them identify corruption loopholes within their institutions and to formulate efficient, cost-effective strategies to seal them and mitigate any risks.

The training was officially opened by the Commission’s South Rift Regional Head, Mr. Ignatius Wekesa, who encouraged participants to be integrity warriors in their institutions while acknowledging the corruption challenge facing the country.
