The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has started a series of engagements with public officers on corruption by educating them on ethical conduct.

In western Kenya, EACC officials from the region have lined up a series of engagements on corruption to help prevent unethical practices and promote integrity in the public service.

Speaking to heads of departments during a dialogue on fostering an integrity-driven public service held in Kakamega town, education officer with the EACC in the western region Peter Onyango said the Anti-corruption body was strengthening partnerships to promote ethics and integrity at institutional and other levels.

According to EACC, a lack of proper systems and procedures of work that promote transparency, accountability and a strong legal framework makes corruption easier.
