Transparency International (TI) Kenya launched the report assessing the impact of the country's anti-corruption laws on Monday. 

Speaking during the event, TI Kenya Executive Director Sheila Masinde confirmed that the report will test the effectiveness of the anti-corruption law in Kenya. 

"We are testing whether the systems and theories that we have put forward are working in institutions during this fight," she said. 

Sheila noted that the report findings provide feedback on how TI will conduct themselves in their next project. 

"It gives us a lot of clarity on our way forward whether it is in regards to legislative work, advocacy work, or civic engagements with other partners," she said. 

EACC Director of Field Services and Coordination Jackson Mue said that the commission associates closely with the findings of TI Kenya. 

Mue called for unity in the anti-corruption fight stating that they plan to have a common goal of eradicating corruption soon.

"When you look at the policies carefully you realise there is a role for everybody in fighting corruption. There is the role of civil society, there is the role of the government and the development partners in this fight," he said. 

From the policy, he noted that Kenya will have enabling legislation as the citizens call for more action by the governments and the commission.

"When you listen to Kenyans they are saying they want to see more being done, There are still a lot of bad manners, there are outright corruption cases, there are outright economic crimes and cases of bribery. There is a need for us to work differently to correct these situations," he said

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) was represented by the Deputy Director in the Department of Prosecution Training Institute (PTI) Alloys Kemo. 

In his remarks, he assured of continued support to TI Kenya as they plan to make Kenya a corrupt-free nation. 

Franklin Bett, representative of the Office of the Attorney General championed for the whistle-blowers protection to allow them freedom as they present their cases.
