EACC engages stakeholders on proposed automation system for Conflict of interest declarations
Director, Ethics and Leadership, Pascal Mweu: To effectively operationalize the Act, we must embrace technology-driven solutions that enhance efficiency, accuracy, security, and public confidence
09:03:2026: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) today convened stakeholders and development partners in Nairobi to deliberate on a proposed automation system for conflict of interest disclosures and the declaration of Income, Assets, and Liabilities under the Conflict of Interest Act, 2025.
The proposed system aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public service by digitizing the compliance process for public officials.
Speaking during the meeting, EACC Director for Ethics and Leadership, Pascal Mweu, underscored the importance of collaboration in operationalizing the new law.
“To effectively operationalize the Act, we must embrace technology-driven solutions that enhance efficiency, accuracy, security, and public confidence,” he said.
Mr. Mweu noted that the automated platform will streamline compliance processes, including initial, biennial, and final declarations, while also facilitating the processing of requests for clarification. He added that the system will strengthen preventive anti-corruption measures by enabling the early identification of potential conflicts of interest and other risks.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the Commission through the PLEAD Programme, noting that it is keen to support the operationalization of the Act and promote a whole-of-government approach. UNODC described the initiative as a significant step toward strengthening Kenya’s anti-corruption framework.
Also speaking at the meeting, Linda Oloo, Anti-Corruption Advisor at the British High Commission (BHC), reaffirmed BHC’s continued support for institutions working to implement the Act and the proposed automation system.
The system is expected to improve compliance and enhance transparency by simplifying the declaration process and making disclosures easier to manage and access.
The consultative meeting brought together representatives from national and county governments, as well as institutions including Transparency International, the Central Bank of Kenya, the Teachers Service Commission, the Public Service Commission, the National Police Service, the Judiciary, the State Law Office, and the Department of Justice.
