The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) announced changes in its top management, including a reshuffle of senior officers in the investigations and asset recovery directorates, in a move aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.
EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud said the changes were part of routine internal adjustments designed to strengthen the commission’s mandate amid intensified efforts to combat corruption.
The changes were announced in an internal memo dated January 27, 2026.
Under the new changes, Director of Investigations Paschal Mweu has been transferred to head the Ethics and Leadership Directorate. He swapped positions with John Lolkolai, who has been appointed as the new Director of Investigations.
Deputy Director of Asset Tracing George Ojowi has been moved to the South Nyanza Regional Office, where he will serve as Regional Manager. The former South Nyanza Regional Manager, Ignatius Wekesa, has been redeployed to the EACC headquarters at Integrity Centre and appointed Deputy Director of Forensic Investigations.
Further changes saw Deputy Director of Coordination Enoch Otiko appointed as Deputy Director of Asset Tracing, while Deputy Director of Forensic Investigations Humphrey Mahiva was moved to head the Coordination Directorate. Gorai Galgalo has been transferred to the Kenya Ethics and Anti-Corruption Academy as a Senior Education Officer.
Mohamud emphasized that the reshuffle was a normal administrative process aimed at improving service delivery and operational effectiveness at the commission.
The changes come at a time when the EACC has stepped up its anti-graft operations in response to rising corruption cases across the country.
In 2024, the commission recovered and handed over 35 title deeds valued at approximately Sh5 billion, as well as cash assets worth Sh511 million, to the National Treasury.
The commission noted that asset tracing and recovery remains one of its key pillars in the fight against corruption in Kenya.
