The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has accused the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) of withdrawing 18 high-profile corruption cases since 2013, despite clear evidence. This has reignited a long-standing dispute between the two institutions over prosecuting graft cases in Kenya.

• 18 high-profile corruption cases across 15 counties have been withdrawn by the ODPP since 2013.
• The EACC, led by CEO Ahmed Mahmoud and Chairperson David Oginde, blames its lack of prosecutorial powers for hindering accountability.
• Most withdrawals occurred between 2023 and 2024, with 5 and 7 cases dropped respectively, and 2 cases already withdrawn in 2025.
