The EACC and FBI launch a futuristic interrogation facility in Nairobi, arming Kenya’s anti-graft body with the digital tools to hunt down corruption cartels.

The war on graft in Kenya has gone digital and high-tech, with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) unveiling a state-of-the-art interview facility developed in partnership with the American FBI.
Located at the Integrity Centre in Nairobi, the new suites are not just interrogation rooms; they are a sophisticated ecosystem of digital forensics and evidence-gathering tools designed to crack complex financial crimes. The launch, attended by top US officials, signals a deepening operational alliance between Nairobi and Washington in the fight against transnational corruption.
