The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), has embarked on a three-day training for Corruption Prevention Committee (CPC) members and senior officers from the State Department of Broadcasting and Telecommunication.
The training is meant to equip the senior officers with skills and knowledge that are necessary in fighting corruption in their departments.
Speaking at a Machakos hotel during the ongoing training, Solomon Atela Assistant Director at the EACC said that the training will help in assisting and strengthening the state department with corruption prevention mechanisms.
Atela added that the training is set to help to effectively mainstream ethics and anti-corruption practices in the state department.
“The commission gave guidelines to assist ministries and state agencies to put structures and procedures in place which can detect and prevent corruption and bribery,” said Atela.
On her part Juliana Yapan the Secretary Administrator from State Department of Broadcasting and Telecommunication and Member of the CPC, pointed out that the training from the EACC will equip them with knowledge and guidance on various ways of enhancing corruption prevention strategies.
She added that by the end of the training, the participants are expected to have a better understanding of their role in fighting corruption in the state department and in the government as well.
