Is there any legal protection for informers or whistle blowers who may assist EACC in its work?

Yes. Any person who assists EACC with information regarding corruption or economic crime is protected by the law. Section 65 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act protects informers who may assist the Commission or an investigator in dealing with corruption offences or economic crimes. No action or proceedings may be taken against informers or other persons for their assistance to the Commission as long as the persons believe the information to be true.
