The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has warned religious leaders against accepting illicit funds ahead of the 2027 General Election in Kenya. EACC Chairperson David Oginde cautioned that such funds could influence voters and promote corruption in government. He emphasized that politicians using illicit funds for their campaigns could later be pressured to reward financiers through corrupt means.
Oginde stressed that election campaigns should focus on leadership, values, and principles rather than financial resources. The warning came during a National Stakeholders' Convention at Ufungamano House in Nairobi, where over 150 stakeholders from various religious backgrounds discussed their role in promoting electoral integrity.
