Keywords:
EACC, Legal Gaps, implementation, corruptionAbstract
Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to determine the Legal Gaps Facing Implementation of EACC Mandate on Weeding out Corruption Cases.
Methodology: The study employed a desktop descriptive survey research design thus presenting a methodological gap.
Results: The results conclude that lack of EACC based courts, lack of prosecutorial powers, lack of general good will, bureaucracy had a significant effect on EACC mandate on weeding out corruption cases. The study thus recommends for more rigorous revaluation for its mandate. Thus further studies should be based on the role of parliament in strengthening EACC Mandate on Weeding out Corruption Cases
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study thus recommends for more rigorous revaluation for its mandate. Thus further studies should be based on the role of parliament in strengthening EACC Mandate on Weeding out Corruption Cases.Downloads
