We are committed to the fight against corruption

As international partners, we are committed to supporting Kenya’s fight against corruption. Achieving these goals will happen through strong political leadership supported by zero tolerance for corruption from all Kenyans. Corruption is theft from the Kenyan people, and it has long undermined the country’s prosperity, security, and democracy. No country is free of this scourge, and many of ours have faced the same challenges. Until fully dealt with, corruption will undermine Kenya’s long-term progress.

We welcome Kenya’s recent commitment to tackling corruption through the joint communiqué issued by President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga on ‘Building Bridges to a New Kenyan Nation’ and through Kenya’s statement at the International Anti-corruption Conference in Copenhagen. We recognise these statements are based on Kenya’s Vision 2030 and its commitment to the UN Sustainable Developments Goals.
