Kenya's President William Ruto signed the new Conflict of Interest Bill into law on Wednesday, intensifying the fight against corruption by establishing a comprehensive framework to manage conflicts of interest among public officers.

• The new law repeals the Public Officer Ethics Act and aims to curb the abuse of power.
• The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is empowered to oversee its implementation across the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary.
• It prohibits preferential treatment, external influence in contracts, and secondary employment that conflicts with official duties.
