EACC raids Embu County offices over major corruption scandal allegations - March 2026

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has raided the offices of the Embu County Government following allegations of a major corruption scandal. A new report has revealed that corruption is the primary driver behind humanitarian crises in Kenya, highlighting the pervasive nature of graft and its devastating impact on the populace. Separately, mounting questions are surrounding Kenya's long-standing issues of inaction and mismanagement, which have exacerbated the devastating impact of recent flooding. Additionally, a grim discovery was made in Kericho County after 33 bodies were exhumed from a piece of land by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
