The core function of the Privatization Commission is the implementation of Privatizations transactions. The Commission also interacts extensively with the market as it procures support services required to implement the transactions. Transactions and procurement processes are vulnerable to corrupt practices. In this respect, the Commission recognizes that corrupt practices can adversely affect its reputation and resources and its responsibility to the Kenya Public to implement transactions transparently and obtain fair value for assets being privatized. The Commission also recognizes that all its other areas of operations are also potential risk areas with respect to corrupt practices. The Commission has promulgated an Anti-corruption Policy to supplement legal provisions and other government initiatives for fighting and preventing corruption in Kenya. The policy seeks to provide a framework for efficient and effective detection and prevention of corruption at the workplace.
