NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 17 — The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is seeking stronger regional cooperation to tackle cross-border corruption and economic crime following high-level talks with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Vienna, Austria.
EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud met UNODC Executive Director Dr. Monica Juma on October 16 to discuss ways to strengthen law enforcement capacity, expand the use of forensic technology and improve mutual legal assistance across Eastern Africa.
The discussions focused on enhancing cooperation in investigating corruption cases that extend beyond national borders, where effective evidence-sharing and collaboration between law enforcement agencies are critical to holding offenders accountable.
