NAIROBI, Kenya — The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Kenya Scouts Association have initiated discussions on a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening ethics, integrity and anti-corruption education among young people across the country.
The proposed collaboration was discussed on Wednesday during a courtesy visit by an EACC delegation led by Commissioner John Ogallo to the Kenya Scouts Association headquarters at Rowallan Camp in Nairobi, where they met the Association’s Chief Executive Officer, Moses Danda.
The partnership seeks to harness the strengths of both institutions to nurture a generation of ethical and responsible citizens by promoting integrity, accountability and positive values through structured youth programmes.
Speaking during the meeting, Commissioner Ogallo said preventing corruption requires a whole-of-society approach, with young people playing a central role in building an ethical future for the country.
“A strategic partnership between Integrity Clubs and the Kenya Scouts Association would strengthen values education and provide learners with practical opportunities to translate values into action,” Ogallo said.
The meeting identified several areas of collaboration, including joint programmes and initiatives designed to promote ethics, integrity and accountability among young people.
According to the Commission, the partnership will build on its preventive approach to fighting corruption through public education, values-based initiatives and engagement with learning institutions.
The discussions also highlighted EACC’s recent participation in the National Scouts Inter-Patrol Competition at Mount Kenya University, where the Commission’s Education and Awareness team conducted sensitisation sessions on ethics, integrity and anti-corruption.
Also present at the meeting were EACC Director of Preventive Services Vincent Okong’o and Deputy Director Emily Mworia, who reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to working closely with the Kenya Scouts Association to develop and implement the proposed partnership.
Welcoming the initiative, Kenya Scouts Association CEO Moses Danda said the organisation was ready to formalise and operationalise the collaboration, noting that it would provide an effective platform for nurturing young people into champions of integrity.
Once formalised, the partnership is expected to strengthen ethics and integrity education among the youth while supporting national efforts to prevent and combat corruption through sustained values-based engagement.
