EACC takes part in the sponsorship of Kenya National Drama Festival 2024
23:04:2024: The Commission sponsored purchase of seven trophies for winning institutions and participated as a theme sponsor of the anti-corruption category in this year’s Kenya National Drama and Film Festival held in Embu County from April 8th to 18th.
Organised by the Ministry of Education, the festival’s main theme was ‘Unlocking opportunities for socio-economic transformation through drama and film‘. It entailed competitions in various genres including plays, narratives, choral verses and film, which began at the sub-county level, regional and culminated at the national level.
EACC is mandated under Section 11(1) and 13(2) of the EACC Act 2011 to educate and create awareness on any matter within the Commission’s mandate. The Commission has a partnership and collaboration with the Ministry of Education aimed at promoting integrity and developing capacity of institutions of learning in ethics, anticorruption and integrity.
Throughout the entire period of the national festival, the Commission sensitized learners, teachers and the general public on integrity and anti-corruption.
The festival was a valuable opportunity for the youth to nurture their talents and eventually contribute towards the social economic development. The sponsorship of the anti-corruption category enabled the Commission to involve the youth in the production of integrity and anti-corruption content through performing arts, thereby contributing towards an integrity driven Kenyan Society.
