EACC joins Catholic Church’s 2025 anti-corruption Lenten Campaign

21:02:2025: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission’s Central Nyanza Regional office, led by its head, Mr. Abraham Kemboi, today joined the Catholic Justice and Peace Department of the Archdiocese of Kisumu in launching the Lenten Campaign 2025.

The Catholic Church observes a 40-day spiritual season of Lent, during which it campaigns to address the country’s social issues. This year’s theme is “The Kenya We Desire.” It calls on every Kenyan to always desire a peaceful, just, and united country.

One of the topics of this year’s campaign is corruption. As such, the Archdiocese of Kisumu, recognizing EACC’s role in the fight against corruption, invited the Commission’s Central Nyanza Regional Office based in Kisumu to participate in the campaign.

The launch was held at St. Theresa’s Cathedral Kibuye from 10:00 am and was preceded by a peaceful procession from St. James the Apostle Magadi Parish to the venue.

The EACC is mandated to combat and prevent corruption, economic crime, and unethical conduct in Kenya through law enforcement, prevention, public education, and promotion of standards and practices of integrity, ethics, and anti-corruption.

To further its public education mandate, the Commission’s Education and Public Awareness Department. Kisumu office. will join the church next week on Radio Maria talk show to elucidate societal values and ethics as part of the Lenten Campaign 2025.
