New EACC Staff Learn The Ropes

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has just concluded an induction exercise for its newly recruited staff. The 65 staff members were officially welcomed by EACC Deputy CEO Michael Mubea and Commissioner Rose Mghoi at a ceremony at the Kenya School of Curriculum Development (KICD).

Commissioner Mghoi congratulated the new team for qualifying to join the Commission and challenged them to take up the war against corruption seriously particularly in view of the heightened public outcry following revelations of mega scandals that have hit the government and led to loss of billions of public funds.

She warned the staff of mounting public attacks on the Commission and urged them to stay focused on the heavy task of winning the war against graft. At the same time she urged the new team to uphold integrity in their undertakings.
