The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) formerly the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission(KACC) is a public body established under Section 3 (1) of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2011.The Commission is mandated to combat and prevent corruption through law enforcement, preventive measures, education and promotion of standards and best practices in integrity and ethics in Kenya

EACC was established after Kenya’s President Mwai Kibaki signed the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act on 29 August 2011.

Establishment

The country's Parliament disbanded KACC on 24 August 2011, in line with the requirements for change as stipulated in the new Constitutional dispensation after the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution.

The EACC was established on 5 September 2011 and Commissioners Irene Keino and Prof. Jane K. Onsongo appointed on 11 May 2012 to head the anti-graft agency.

Chairman Mumo Matemu was nominated by the Grand Coalition principals, President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga in 2012 to head the anti-graft agency alongside commissioners Irene Keino and Prof. Jane Onsongo.

The three have since resigned concurrently amid controversy in between April–May 2015.

In November 2015, President Uhuru Kenyatta nominated new members to head the agency. Philip Kinusu as the commission's chairperson alongside four other officials as commissioners. The commissioners were Dabar Maalim, Paul Gachoka, Sophia Lepuchirit and Rose Macharia

The Commission Secretary/Chief Executive Officer - Twalib Mbarak is in charge of the day-to-day operations. Mbarak was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Commission for a six-year term after a successful and rigorous interview by the Public Service Commission followed by a Parliamentary Vetting and approval by His Excellency former President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta in January 2019.

Mbarak was preceded by Halakhe D. Waqo who formally took office at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) after a swearing-in ceremony held at the Supreme Court of Kenya, on 21 January 2013.

By doing so, he becomes the commission's first Secretary/Chief Executive Officer since EACC was established to replace the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission in 2012.

Abdi Mohamud appointed in September 2022 is the current Deputy Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
