Bribery Prevention & Ethical Reporting in the Kenyan Workplace

Bribery and corruption pose a serious threat to Kenya's public institutions, private sector and broader economy. This course has been designed for all members of staff — regardless of role or seniority — to build a clear, practical understanding of what bribery looks like in everyday workplace situations, what the law requires of both individuals and organisations, and how every employee plays a part in maintaining an ethical culture.

Drawing on Kenya's key anti-corruption legislation — the Bribery Act 2016 and the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act (ACECA) 2003 — the course walks learners through the legal definitions of bribery and corrupt conduct, the personal and organisational consequences of non-compliance, and the specific duties placed on private-sector entities and public officers. Real-world scenarios are used throughout to make the concepts immediately relevant to day-to-day work.

This course is the All Staff course in a two-course set developed for Kenyan organisations. It complements a separate, more advanced course for managers and compliance professionals. On completion, learners will be able to identify red flags, decline improper requests with confidence, and report concerns through the appropriate channels — including to external regulators such as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) — knowing that legal protections exist for those who speak up in good faith.
