Use asset recovery to tame graft in the public service
Integrity Centre, the EACC headquarters in Nairobi. Recent media reports of the findings of oversight agencies such as the EACC show increased recovery of looted public resources of late.
Recent media reports of the findings of oversight agencies such as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Office of the Auditor-General, parliamentary committees and social accountability organisations show increased recovery of looted public resources of late.
Reports show, for instance, how EACC has intensified tracing and recovery of corruptly acquired public assets. On July 28, EACC recovered a Sh430 million public land in Nairobi from grabbers who had colluded with public officials to fraudulently transfer it. The land was reserved for construction of the Mombasa Road-Eastern Bypass interchange.
