Senior staff of the Machakos County Executive including County Executive Committee Members (CECM) and Chief Officers (COs) are set to undergo 100 days of training on corruption prevention by the Ethic and Anti-Corruption Authority (EACC) in a bid to improve transparency and accountability in the County’s service delivery to the residents.

The training, that is the brain child of Governor Wavinya Ndeti, is to curb corruption cases in the County and improve on transparency and handling of the County’s public and private assets.

The EACC Commissioner Colonel Alfred Mshimba while speaking during a joint briefing with the Governor at the Governor’s office in Machakos, said that the proactive approach of training the Executives is set to improve integrity and prevent corruption.

“At EACC we believe that prevention is better than cure and we are here to work together and seal all loopholes in areas that are prone to corruption and that training is collaborative,” said Mshimba.

The Governor on her part sent a stern warning to public officials against engaging in corrupt practices and urged them to cooperate with the EACC team in improving service delivery and the reputation of Machakos county.

“Public Coffers must not be interfered with, I have issued instructions to the County Secretary to fish out any documents from any office that may be required in the graft probe in order to nail those culpable,” warned Wavinya.

She noted that her government is committed to upholding the highest standards of Integrity and will ensure that Machakos operates within the utmost ethical standards by gaining valuable insights from the 100-day training.
