On International Anti-Corruption Day, We appreciated the opportunity to contribute to a vital dialogue on Ramogi TV, hosted by the esteemed Joyce Oduor.
Our discussion focused on two pillars:
1. The Stark Human Cost: How corruption acts as a regressive tax on the poor, undermining social services, perpetuating inequality, and eroding trust in institutions.
2. The Multi-Stakeholder Solution: Effective anti-corruption requires a cohesive strategy engaging government, the judiciary, civil society, the media, and the private sector.
A compelling point of action we explored is leveraging market and social forces. When citizens, as ethical consumers, consciously decide to withhold patronage from enterprises associated with proceeds of corruption, they enact a powerful form of social and economic accountability. This "vote with your shilling" approach complements institutional reforms.
It was a reminder that building a culture of integrity is a collective project. Every sector has a role, and every conscious choice counts.

As schools reopen, concerns have emerged over how some school heads continue to exploit parents through irregular levies, hidden charges, and unnecessary requirements. These practices place an unfair financial burden on families and undermine efforts to make education accessible and affordable for all.

A recent audit conducted by CIAG-K has highlighted disturbing patterns, including non-transparent financial practices, unauthorized charges, and a lack of accountability in the management of school resources. The findings raise important questions about governance within the education sector and the urgent need for oversight mechanisms that protect parents and learners alike.

Education must remain a right and not a privilege dictated by rogue practices. Stakeholders, from policymakers to parents, need to work together to ensure accountability and fairness in our schools.

Yesterday,24/07/025, marked the beginning of a critical journey in Siaya County.
The inception meeting of the “Bridging the Gap: Enforcing Human Rights and Corporate Accountability in Kenya’s Extractive Sector” project convened key stakeholders—from civil society organizations, county government departments, to industry players in the mining sector.
This project, implemented by CIAG under the Haki Ni Yetu initiative and supported by the European Union, sets the stage for a future where communities are protected, human rights are upheld, and corporate accountability is the standard—not an option.
We’re laying the foundation for lasting change in Kenya’s resource extraction landscape.
Let the real work begin.
