EACC partners with stakeholders to develop integrity curricula for public service
26:08:2024: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has partnered with the Kenya School of Government (KSG) and the Office of the Head of Public Service to develop Public Service Governance, Ethics, and Integrity curricula.
A workshop to develop the curricula, which is ongoing at KSG Mombasa, marks a significant step by the collaborating institutions toward fostering a transformative culture change in public service.
The workshop was officially launched on Monday, 19th August 2024, by Mrs Mary Kimonye, Head of Governance and Public Service Reforms, alongside Mr Abdi Mohamud, EACC’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Dr Josephine Mwanzia, KSG’s Director, Academic Affairs.

Mrs Kimonye emphasized the programme’s broader impact. This, she said, is not just a training programme, it’s a mindset programme.
“We aim to instil and restore the values and character we have lost,” she said.
Addressing participants, the EACC Deputy CEO said that the programme under development presents a different approach to addressing ethics and integrity matters in the public service.
Dr. Mwanzia stated, “KSG’s role is to develop programmes that cultivate the right mindsets, behaviours, and skills in the public service to fulfil their mandates, and we are here to reflect on their effectiveness and identify any gaps that need bridging.”
The workshop, which will conclude on 30 August 2024, has brought together senior officers from the partnering institutions.
