The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has defended the legality of the Presidential Multi-Agency Team on the War Against Corruption (MAT-WAC), affirming its consistency with Kenyan laws. The EACC supports the initiative, provided its institutional independence is safeguarded, and has urged the High Court to dismiss a case challenging MAT-WAC's establishment.

• MAT-WAC brings together 11 key institutions, including the Office of the President and the National Intelligence Service.
• Director of Legal Services and Asset Recovery David Too swore the affidavit in defense of MAT-WAC.
• The petition, filed by Dr. Magare Gikenyi and others, argues MAT-WAC is unconstitutional and duplicates existing institutions.
