President William Ruto has announced the establishment of a new multi-agency team to intensify the fight against corruption in the country.
This comes just a day after the Head of State sternly warned lawmakers over their involvement in bribery and unethical practices.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Ruto revealed that the Multi-Agency Team on War Against Corruption (MAT) had been created to foster synergy and strengthen inter-agency cooperation in tackling corruption, economic crimes, and related offences.
The team will be chaired by the Executive Office of the President, with the Office of the Attorney General serving as the head of the Secretariat. Other key institutions represented include the National Intelligence Service (NIS), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
