The arrest follows a complaint received by the Commission alleging that the auditor had demanded money from the contractor to influence the outcome of an audit exercise. Acting on the report, EACC investigators mounted an operation in Eldoret and arrested the suspect after receiving Kshs. 400,000 from the complainant. The suspect was processed at the EACC North Rift Regional Office and subsequently released on a cash bail of KES100,000 pending the conclusion of investigations and further action. EACC remains commited to strengthening accountability, and integrity in public affairs management.

IG JOINS INVESTIGATIVE PARTNER AGENCIES TO LAUNCH FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS TRAINING MANUAL AND TOOLS In the spirit of fostering inter-agency cooperation and strengthening the collective fight against financial crime, @IGGUganda joined partner institutions in the official launch of the Financial Investigations Training Manual and Tools. Launched at the @PoliceUg Headquarters in Naguru, the manual represents a landmark achievement in the ongoing effort to strengthen investigative capacity and reinforce a coordinated, professional, and intelligence-led response to safeguarding the nation’s economic security. The manual has been developed collaboratively by the @ThefiaU , @PoliceUg , @URAuganda , @IGGUganda ,@ODPPUGANDA & @ugwildlife . Serving as both a guide and a strategic resource, the manual provides clear methodologies, innovative investigative techniques, and structured procedures for uncovering and tracing illicit assets. By promoting evidence-based investigations and strengthening case-building capabilities, it enhances the pursuit of justice and increases successful prosecutions and asset recovery. It is designed to build capacity not only for new officers entering the field, but also for senior officers, equipping all stakeholders with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively tackle sophisticated financial crimes. As the financial landscape continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, this manual stands as a timely and critical resource in the fight against financial crime. By reinforcing existing interventions and enhancing investigative capabilities, the manual provides a robust framework for addressing emerging risks. The collective commitment demonstrated in the development of this manual underscores a powerful truth that when institutions see beyond the boundaries of their individual mandates and work toward a shared vision, even the most complex challenges can be overcome. It is a testament to the fact that with mutual resolve, collaboration, and a common desire to build a secure and prosperous economy, meaningful and lasting solutions are within reach. @IGGUganda team was led by Mrs. Taliba Hilda, Director Legal Affairs, who represented Deputy IGG, @AnneTwino .

The suspect, Mercy Akinyi Ofuwa, is accused of using a forged Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate to secure employment at the OAG. Investigations conducted by the Commission established that Ms Ofuwa allegedly forged KCSE academic documents purportedly from Umina Secondary School and successfully used them in her application for employment at the Office of the Auditor General. Upon conclusion of investigations, the Commission forwarded the case file to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), who approved charges of forgery, uttering a false document, and fraudulent acquisition of public property amounting to Kes5,838,790, being salaries allegedly earned by the suspect during her employment at the OAG. The suspect has been released on a Kes50,000 cash bail pending arraignment. EACC will also file civil proceedings to recover all the salaries and benefits earned by the accused person based on the fake academic qualifications.

IG RALLIES WEST NILE CITIZENS IN RENEWED ANTI-CORRUPTION FIGHT The @IGGUganda has intensified its outreach in the West Nile Sub-region, mobilizing citizens to take an active stand in the fight against corruption by using their respective platforms, voices, and spaces to champion integrity and accountability. The call was made by Ms. Christine Lamwaka, Manager Advocacy and Capacity Building, during a baraza held at Paidha Mayors Gardens, where she urged citizens to become champions of transparency and accountability within their communities. Ms. Lamwaka, who also led the engagement team, reminded citizens that the Constitution places upon them a vital responsibility in the fight against corruption, and urged the public to boldly identify and report corrupt practices to the Inspectorate of Government, emphasizing that silence only empowers the vice. She further cautioned communities against celebrating or glorifying corrupt individuals, noting that such admiration only fuels and normalizes corruption in society. On Tuesday, the team took the anti-corruption campaign to the airwaves through a talk show on Paidah FM, using the platform to amplify the mandate of the Inspectorate of Government and educate the public on the far-reaching dangers of corruption and its impact on national development. The team will also hold engagements in Nebbi and Packwack Districts. These engagements are being coordinated by the Directorate of Research, Education and Advocacy with support from the @IGGUganda Arua Regional Office. As part of its wider mission to cultivate a culture of shared responsibility and civic vigilance, the @IGGUganda is rallying citizens to boldly speak out against corruption, reporting corrupt practices, and demanding accountability from leaders to ensure improved service delivery and good governance.

PRIME CABINET SECRETARY H.E MUSALIA MUDAVADI CALLS FOR REGIONAL COOPERATION IN ANTI-CORRUPTION FIGHT Prime Cabinet Secretary H. E Musalia Mudavadi has called for enhanced regional and international cooperation in tackling cross-border corruption and illicit financial flows. Speaking during the official opening of the Regional Anti-Corruption Authorities Conference in Nairobi, the PCS, who also serves as Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, emphasized the interconnected nature of modern corruption networks. “We are bound together by trade, borders, financial systems and shared vulnerabilities. When corruption finds a loophole in one jurisdiction, it does not remain there. It adapts, moves and expands. That is why our response must be regional, coordinated and faster than the networks we are confronting,” he said. The conference, convened under the theme “Unmasking Beneficial Ownership in the Fight Against Corruption and Recovery of Assets,” has brought together anti-graft agencies from eight countries—Uganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Djibouti, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo under the umbrella of the Eastern Africa Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (EAAACA). Mudavadi acknowledged the significant toll corruption takes on economies, noting a near-linear relationship between a country’s corruption levels and its per capita income. Regions that effectively control corruption, he observed, tend to achieve higher and more stable income levels, while those that fail remain locked in low-value economic cycles. Despite ongoing challenges, he pointed to encouraging progress. According to the 2024/2025 report by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the Commission finalized and forwarded 175 investigation files on corruption, economic crimes and ethical breaches to the Director of Public Prosecutions. It also secured 33 convictions, traced Kes22.9 billion in illegally acquired and unexplained assets, recovered Kes3.4 billion, and prevented the loss of Kes16.5 billion through proactive investigations. EAAACA Vice President and EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi A. Mohamud highlighted strides made in asset recovery, citing several properties reclaimed and repurposed for public benefit. These include land belonging to the Meteorological Department in Nairobi’s Industrial Area, now hosting 13,264 affordable housing units, as well as Hobley Estate and Buxton in Mombasa, earmarked for 720 social housing units. He further cited the recovery of Karura Forest land valued at approximately Kes2.8 billion and Chale Island in Kwale County, noting their contribution to environmental conservation, preservation of cultural heritage, and growth of the blue economy. Mohamud called for strengthened transnational collaboration, including joint investigations and shared capacity-building programmes to harmonize investigative and prosecutorial standards across the region. The conference is set to conclude on Friday, April 24.
