EACC Investigates Five Governors for Graft, States No Evidence of Bribery by MPs - August 2025

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is actively investigating five sitting governors over a range of corruption allegations, including embezzlement, conflict of interest, and unexplained wealth. Eleven former governors are also under scrutiny for similar offenses. Separately, the EACC has stated it has no evidence to support President William Ruto's recent claims of bribery among Members of Parliament (MPs). EACC CEO Abdi Mohamud clarified that while they are investigating some MPs, these cases are unrelated to the president's allegations. The commission reiterated that it has no credible evidence or formal complaints linking MPs to bribery or extortion.
