Political and institutional leadership plays a decisive role in determining whether corruption flourishes or declines, the chairperson of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission David Oginde has said. Oginde said the ethical tone of a nation is largely shaped by those entrusted with leadership positions in government and public institutions. When leaders tolerate corruption, corruption multiplies. He emphasised that strong institutions and ethical leadership are essential to restoring confidence in public systems and ensuring resources meant for development benefit citizens. The forum brought together students, faculty and governance stakeholders to discuss integrity, accountability and the role of young leaders in strengthening ethical leadership in Kenya.
