Kenyan Leaders Call for Accountability at Global Trust Summit

Kenyan leaders and public officials are calling for greater accountability and meaningful public participation as the Global Trust Summit takes place in Nairobi.

The summit, which runs from October 21 to 23, brings together governments, multilateral institutions, business leaders, civil society, academics, and young people to explore ways of restoring confidence in governance, markets, and international cooperation.

Accountability and Transparency

Leaders argue that transparency alone is insufficient unless it leads to action, and that institutions must honour their commitments, respond to complaints, and provide credible information to citizens.

• Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu emphasized the importance of ensuring that audit findings and oversight processes translate into corrective action.
• Dr Priscilla, Director of the Communications Authority of Kenya, said accountability requires cooperation across institutions and cannot be assigned to a single organization.
