CEO opens training for 26 Commission officers at FBI Academy in the US
11:08:2025: The Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of EACC, Mr. Abdi A. Mohamud, officiated the course commencement for 26 EACC officers undertaking the Advanced Public Corruption Training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, USA.
The opening ceremony was also graced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Assistant Director in charge of Training, Mr. Matthew Miraglia, along with other FBI officials. The CEO commended the FBI for offering and facilitating the training.
The training opportunity builds on the strong collaboration between the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the discharge of their respective mandates.
The specialized training, focusing on advanced investigative techniques, anti-corruption strategies, forensic analysis, and international cooperation, was designed to enhance the officer’s technical skills in combating corruption and economic crimes.
While addressing the course participants, the CEO underscored the significance of multi-agency cooperation, both regionally and globally, in the fight against corruption.
Alongside the training, Mr. Mohamud held strategic discussions with the Bureau’s top leadership on possible areas of cooperation between the two agencies, including on intelligence sharing and recovery of proceeds of corruption. He also held meetings with the leadership of the Department of Justice (DOJ) with a focus on capacity building, especially on cross-border investigations and Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA).
Winding up his tour of duty, the CEO paid a courtesy call on the Kenyan Ambassador to Washington DC, H.E. Amb. David Kerich, where the two leaders explored possible mechanisms of collaboration, especially on the issue of fake academic credentials allegedly issued by USA based institutions of higher learning.
