Kenyan civil society organisations are calling for more resources for the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, whose budget is due to reach 5.1 billion shillings for 2026-2027. They also want recovered assets to fund some of the institution’s activities, according to Citizen.
Civil society organisations in Machakos County are calling for increased funding for Kenya’s Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to strengthen the fight against corruption, according to Citizen.
