Government Directives and Actions on Corruption - August 2025

Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has urged the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to arrest all civil servants implicated in recent corruption reports, signaling a strong government stance against the looting of public resources. Speaking multiple times in Matuga Constituency, Kwale County, CS Ruku emphasized that the era of impunity is over and no corrupt official will be spared. Concurrently, an audit of Kenya's eCitizen digital payments platform has unearthed significant governance issues, unauthorized transactions, and systemic failures, potentially leading to the loss and mismanagement of over KSh10.8 billion in public revenue, raising serious concerns about the platform's transparency and integrity.
