Rights groups in Western rally to combat graft and promote accountability

The forum, which brought together 81 organizations from Kisumu, Siaya, Kakamega and Homabay counties, focused on enhancing the capacity to analyze public finance reports, identify irregularities and advocate for transparency and accountability.

The session was part of the Tupigane Na Ufisadi project, a European Union-funded initiative led by the Institute for Social Accountability in partnership with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and Transparency International Kenya.

Kennedy Anjejo, a representative from Kisumu County Accountability Alliance, emphasized the importance of ensuring that advocacy for accountability is based on solid evidence, adding that there’s need to ensure corruption issues are grounded in facts and figures.
