The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has launched an examination of the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) to identify weaknesses in its operations that could create opportunities for corruption.
The exercise will assess the authority's systems, policies, procedures and practices, with the commission expected to recommend measures to address identified gaps and strengthen accountability.
Speaking during the launch at KPA headquarters in Mombasa, EACC Commissioner John Ogallo highlighted the strategic importance of the Port of Mombasa, describing it as a critical gateway for regional trade.
The port connects Kenya and several neighbouring countries to international markets, making its efficiency and integrity essential to the movement of goods and regional economic growth.

Ogallo noted that weaknesses in port operations could affect the cost of doing business, regional competitiveness and the country's economic performance.
He stressed that improving institutional systems would help ensure operational efficiency goes hand in hand with transparency, integrity and accountability.
