“At least 72 graft-related convictions have been secured over the last three years, with assets worth Sh7.4 billion recovered and losses of more than Sh10.7 billion averted,” Mohamud said.
He emphasized that asset recovery remains a key pillar in the fight against corruption, noting that reclaiming stolen public funds is critical in restoring public confidence and ensuring that illicit gains do not benefit those involved in wrongdoing.
According to the CEO, the Sh7.4 billion recovered includes cash, properties, and other assets that had been acquired through corrupt means.
He added that the commission has also intensified efforts to prevent potential losses by intervening early in suspect transactions and projects.
Mohamud said the prevention of losses amounting to more than Sh10.7 billion demonstrates the importance of proactive measures, including monitoring public procurement processes and flagging irregularities before funds are misappropriated.
He acknowledged that while progress has been made, corruption remains a significant challenge that requires continued vigilance and cooperation among all stakeholders.
He called on public institutions to strengthen internal controls and adhere strictly to procurement laws and financial regulations.
The CEO also urged members of the public to play a more active role by reporting suspected corruption cases, assuring them that the commission has mechanisms in place to protect whistleblowers.
Mohamud reiterated the commission’s commitment to ensuring accountability and transparency in the management of public resources, adding that those found culpable will continue to face the full force of the law.
He further noted that the commission is investing in capacity building and the use of technology to enhance investigations and improve case management.
This, he said, is expected to increase efficiency and lead to more successful prosecutions.
