The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission now says corruption remains a crime against humanity that undermines human dignity.
During the celebrations of the 9th edition of the African Anti-Corruption Day at KICC, the commission said the vice has devastating effect on governance, service delivery, and public trust.
The commission's Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud said assets worth approximately Sh28 billion have been recovered in the last six years through proactive investigations and averted potential losses estimated at Sh42 billion.
Mohamud said the ongoing asset recovery efforts target a further Sh50 billion suspected to have been illicitly acquired. "Corruption continues to stifle the economy, deny citizens access to basic rights such as healthcare, safe environments, and essential government services.
