Eacc headquartersThe Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) forwarded 43 investigation files to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) over three months, with 38 recommended for prosecution.
The figures are contained in EACC's second quarterly report covering the period from April 1 to June 30, 2026, published through a Gazette notice dated July 25, 2026.
According to the report, the commission recommended prosecution in 38 of the 43 files forwarded to the DPP during the three months.
Two files were recommended for administrative or other action, while three were recommended for closure.
By the end of the reporting period, the DPP had accepted recommendations to prosecute in four of the files.
The report further shows that one recommendation for administrative or other action was accepted, while one recommendation for closure was also accepted.
EACC further reported that 21 files were awaiting advice from the DPP as of June 30.
A further 10 files had been returned to the commission for further investigations, requiring additional inquiries before a final decision could be made.
The DPP did not accept EACC's recommendation to prosecute in four files, according to the report.
The commission also recorded one file in which its recommendation for administrative or other action was not accepted.
In another case, prosecution was declined, but administrative action was recommended.
There were no cases in which a recommendation for closure was rejected during the reporting period.
The figures provide a snapshot of the progress of corruption and economic crime investigations referred by EACC to the prosecution authority during the second quarter of the 2026 financial year.
The quarterly report was signed by EACC Chairperson David Oginde and Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud in accordance with the commission's statutory obligations.
"Under Section 36 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003, EACC is required to prepare quarterly reports showing the number of reports made to the DPP and other statistical information relating to the files," the notice reads.
The law also requires the commission to indicate whether its recommendations to prosecute individuals for corruption or economic crimes have been accepted or rejected.
EACC is required to submit a copy of each quarterly report to the Attorney-General, who is expected to table it before the National Assembly.
The commission is also required to publish the report in the Kenya Gazette.
