EACC launches corruption prevention committees in Homa Bay County
10:03:2026: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has partnered with Homa Bay County to establish and operationalize Corruption Prevention Committees (CPCs), aimed at promoting good governance and strengthening integrity systems in public institutions at the county level.
Homa Bay becomes the latest county to establish the committees, joining 13 others that have already operationalized CPCs, including Baringo, Embu, Kilifi, and Kwale.
Speaking today during the launch at the Homa Bay County Headquarters, EACC Commissioner Dr. Cecilia Mutuku noted that the committees provide a mechanism for mainstreaming corruption prevention and promoting ethics and integrity within county governments.
Dr. Mutuku urged the county leadership to ensure the full establishment and effective operationalization of the County Apex Corruption Prevention Committee.
“A firm commitment to combating corruption will enhance public trust, accountability, and sustainable development for the people of Homa Bay County,” she said.
Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga underscored the county’s commitment to establishing the committees, noting that they will strengthen transparency, accountability, and good governance in the management of public resources for the benefit of residents.
The initiative is supported under the EACC–GIZ Good Governance Programme. GIZ Good Governance Team Leader Judith Oduma reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to working with EACC and county governments to operationalize the committees and enhance service delivery.
The EACC delegation later visited Homa Bay High School, where the Deputy Director for Education and Public Awareness, Dr. Emily Mworia, delivered an integrity talk to the students.
The Commission remains committed to supporting counties in building strong ethics and integrity systems and strengthening corruption prevention initiatives to detect and address corruption effectively.
