John Githongo, Kenyan whistleblower and former anti-corruption chief confirms participation in the 14th IACC…

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:27:15 +0000

John Githongo is a key figure in the global fight against corruption, known best for his leadership and courage in uncovering corruption in Kenya and more specifically his role in exposing the corruption and collusion of three high level ministers and the Kenyan Vice President in the Anglo Leasing Scandal.

After years of leadership and distinction in the fields of journalism and civil society, Githongo took on the role of Permanent Secretary for Ethics and Governance, in the Office of the President, leading the fight against corruption in Kenya for roughly 18 months. His success was much to the dismay of many in the national government, from bottom to top. As it was hinted that he should not do his job too well, his success in exposing corruption in Kenya led to his need to flee the country in 2005 to the UK. It was from there that he completed his revealing and compelling dossier on the Anglo Leasing scandal.

Mr. Githongo has since taken on a number of roles – he is a Senior Common Room Member at St Antony’s College Oxford, a Senior Advisor Global Advocacy for World Vision International, and a Board Member of the Kenya Human Rights Commission, among countless other distinctions. Those interested in reading more on the extraordinary and inspiring career and life of John Githongo are encouraged to read Michela Wrong’s renowned book, Its Our Time to Eat: The Story of Kenyan Whistleblower.
