EACC Report Reveals Magistrates Lead in Corruption Cases - April 2026

A new report from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has revealed that magistrates are topping the list of public officials implicated in corruption cases, with offenses predominantly involving bribery and ethical misconduct. A separate report titled the Kenya National Gender and Corruption Survey 2025 highlights a disturbing trend of widespread bribery and a significant lack of reporting among Kenyans. Questions have arisen in the National Assembly regarding the significant daily expenditure of KES 8 million on transporting the Deputy President, with the Office of the Deputy President under scrutiny by the Public Accounts Committee over substantial pending bills including helicopter services.
