The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has cautioned the public and civil servants at all levels of government to refrain from diverting funds to unauthorised projects.
The commission recently revealed that it will deploy experts to scrutinise budget allocations at both national and county levels, to ensure the early detection and prevention of corruption in flagged projects.
They also announced a plan to intensify investigations into unexplained wealth and the illegal acquisition of public assets by launching lifestyle audits and profiling targeted public officials.
According to EACC, the ultimate goal is to recover the ill-got public property and deter further corruption practices.
“The commission will engage experts to analyse budget allocation for public entities at both national and county levels, to enable the timely detection and prevention of corruption in the unidentified projects”, the commission CEO stated.
EACC further revealed that it has scaled up intelligence gathering and surveillance targeting public institutions that provide essential services and are prone to bribery.
Meanwhile, the CEO warned public servants against obstructing EACC officers during investigations, warning that any form of interference would not be tolerated.
