The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has announced plans to deepen collaboration with South Africa’s Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to strengthen the fight against corruption across the region.

Speaking at the Integrity Centre while hosting an SIU delegation on a courtesy call, EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud said the engagement reaffirmed an enduring partnership and set the stage for an enhanced framework of cooperation.

“The fight against corruption knows no boundaries. Through strategic partnerships such as this, we strengthen our collective capacity to safeguard public resources, uphold integrity, and restore public trust,” said Mr. Mohamud.

Adv. JL Andy Mothibi, Head and Chief Executive of the SIU and Vice President of the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), welcomed the move, describing the meeting as “a valuable platform for benchmarking, exchanging best practices, and strengthening partnerships across Commonwealth Africa.”

The collaboration will focus on capacity building and joint training, exchange of technical expertise, staff development opportunities, and collaborative research.

Officials from both institutions said the joint initiatives aim to improve case handling, prevention strategies, and recovery of public assets, with further modalities to be developed through a formal cooperation framework.
