The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) have strengthened their partnership to improve the investigation and prosecution of corruption and money laundering cases.
The commitment was made during a meeting between the leadership of the two institutions at the Kenya School of Government on Tuesday, 15 July,2026. The meeting reviewed the progress of ongoing collaboration and agreed on new measures to improve the handling of corruption cases.
EACC Chairperson Dr. David Oginde said corruption remains one of the greatest obstacles to Kenya’s development, weakening public trust and affecting the delivery of public services. He said closer collaboration between investigators and prosecutors is essential to ensuring corruption cases are investigated thoroughly and prosecuted successfully.
EACC Chief Executive Officer Mr. Abdi Mohamud said the fight against corruption requires institutions across the justice sector to work together. He noted that while each institution has a distinct constitutional mandate, they share a common responsibility to deliver justice through effective investigations, successful prosecutions, and the recovery of assets acquired through corruption.
Director of Public Prosecutions Mr. Renson Ingonga said the meeting provided an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between the two institutions and improve the quality of investigations and prosecutions. He said closer collaboration would help both institutions better protect the public interest and uphold the rule of law.
Among the measures agreed upon were joint training for investigators and prosecutors, stronger collaboration in reviewing cases, and greater focus on high-impact corruption and money laundering cases.
