Between 2013 and 2017, approximately KES 2 billion (USD 15.5 million) was embezzled from Migori County, Kenya, through irregular procurement contracts linked to proxies of the former county governor. Kenya’s Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) used the International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre (IACCC) to obtain overseas intelligence on assets, travel, and financial activities in multiple jurisdictions. This intelligence enabled targeted mutual legal assistance requests, supported by technical mentoring from the Basel Institute’s International Centre for Asset Recovery. As a result, the EACC secured timely evidence and negotiated an out-of-court settlement recovering assets worth KES 235.6 million (USD 1.8 million), demonstrating the effectiveness of coordinated international cooperation in complex corruption and asset recovery cases.
