The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) says it has recovered assets worth KSh3.6 billion linked to corruption and unexplained wealth, while preventing the potential loss of KSh10.4 billion in public funds through investigations and proactive interventions.
EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud announced the figures on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, when he appeared before the National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLAC) in Mombasa.
Mohamud was presenting an update on the implementation of the commission’s budget for the 2025/26 financial year.
During the engagement, he outlined the commission’s strategic priorities in tackling corruption, including enhanced monitoring of capital-intensive public projects and intensified efforts to combat bribery at service delivery points.
The commission also plans to strengthen asset recovery operations and expand its presence across the country to improve public access to its services.
The measures are aimed at strengthening accountability in the management of public resources, recovering proceeds linked to corruption and preventing the misuse of public funds.
In his closing remarks, Mohamud reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to preventing and combating corruption and unethical conduct. He also pledged continued emphasis on the prudent, efficient and transparent use of resources as the EACC fulfils its legal mandate and serves the people of Kenya.
JLAC Chairperson George Murugara commended the commission’s efforts to safeguard public resources and pledged the committee’s support, particularly in facilitating the expansion of EACC operations to more counties.
The proposed expansion is expected to improve access to the commission’s services and strengthen service delivery by bringing its operations closer to more Kenyans.
The engagement provided an opportunity for lawmakers to review the commission’s budget implementation and assess progress in executing its anti-corruption mandate during the 2025/26 financial year.
The expansion is also expected to enhance public participation in the fight against corruption by making it easier for citizens to report suspected cases and access EACC services.
The commission continues to rely on public cooperation, investigations and preventive measures to promote integrity and accountability in public institutions.
