Does EACC investigate private companies engaged in corruption?

Yes. Corruption is a phenomenon that involves both public organizations and private entities. EACC intervenes only in cases where public funds or public interest is at stake. In cases where only private interest is at stake, the parties are normally advised to refer the matter to the Police for investigation under the penal code or for adjudication as civil matters in courts of law. Bribery Act 2016 empowers EACC to investigate bribery in private sector.
