Recent developments and emerging issues
The course is updated as rules change. These are the developments it currently covers. Last reviewed: October 2026.
Conflict-of-interest checks when dealing with government
Under the Conflict of Interest Act 2025, staff who bid for tenders or hire former officials must check for officials' interests and observe a cooling-off period.
Kenya's corruption perception score fell to 30/100
Counterparties and donors are asking for more anti-bribery assurance.
No stand-alone whistleblower law
The Whistleblower Protection Bill 2023 lapsed in 2025, so internal channels and the Act's protection for whistleblowers carry more weight.

The new edition adds compliance culture and conflicts of interest.

Questions about anti-bribery (ABAC) training
Where can I find anti-bribery training in Kenya?
FNJ offers anti-bribery and corruption training for all staff on demand, live virtual or in person, with certificates of completion and an evidence pack showing your procedures operate.
What procedures does the Anti-Bribery Act require?
Section 9 requires procedures appropriate to the size and nature of the entity to prevent bribery. Typical procedures include a policy, gifts and hospitality rules, third-party due diligence, reporting channels and staff training.
How should we handle gifts and hospitality?
Set clear limits and approval rules, keep a register, and refuse anything offered to influence a decision. The course uses scenarios to help staff apply your own policy.
Do we need ISO 37001?
No, certification is voluntary. Some organisations use it to show counterparties and donors that their anti-bribery system meets an international standard. The 2025 edition adds compliance culture and conflicts of interest.
Is there a certificate?
Yes. Every learner who completes the course receives a certificate of completion with a unique number, the course, the date and the hours.
