Actions Target Corruption Scandals and Illicit Financial Schemes - October 2025

Four Kenyans were among 83 individuals arrested globally by INTERPOL for alleged involvement in a widespread money laundering scheme that uncovered approximately Ksh33 billion ($260 million) in illicit funds. The operation, a first of its kind targeting terrorism financing, also identified 160 persons of interest across six African countries. In Mombasa, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) recovered a Ksh30 million public land parcel in Nyali after a 12-year legal battle. The Mombasa Environment and Land Court nullified an unlawful allocation of the 0.13-hectare plot. Meanwhile, protesters demonstrated outside the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) headquarters demanding the removal of Director General George Njao over allegations of rampant corruption within the authority.
