The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud has been elected to the Executive Committee of the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA).
Mr. Mohamud’s election to the Hong Kong-based association took place during IAACA’s 14th General Meeting on February 6, 2025.
IAACA is an anti-corruption organization mandated to promote the effective implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and assist anti-corruption agencies (ACAs) worldwide in the prevention of and fight against corruption.
It comprises 180 anti-corruption authorities from different countries and regions.
The election of the EACC’s CEO to the organization is an acknowledgment of Kenya’s continued strides in preventing and combating corruption.
The anti-corruption body has achieved significant milestones in averting loss of public funds through proactive investigations, recovery of proceeds of corruption and forfeiture of unexplained wealth.
In addition the Commission has successfully conducted high-impact investigations resulting in prosecutions and convictions of high-profile personalities.
Mr. Mohamud’s election to IAACA’s Executive Committee provides the Commission a platform to deepen its formal and informal networks for cooperation between anti-corruption authorities worldwide to enhance the fight against corruption.
