The African Development Bank (AfDB) has sanctioned Kenyan national, Martin Obiero Achieng for a year for his participation in fraudulent activity in a recruitment process.
According to the bank’s integrity office, investigations found Ochieng to have been involved in fraudulent practice during recruitment for a consultancy position.
“An investigation conducted by the Office of Integrity and Anti-Corruption of the African Development Bank Group established that, in the context of a recruitment for a consultancy position within the African Development Bank Group, Mr. Martin Obiero Achieng committed a Fraudulent Practice,”
During the 24 month debarment period, Achieng and any entity under his direct or indirect control will not be eligible to participate in AfDB Group-financed activities.
At the expiry of the debarment period, AfDB says Achieng will only be eligible to resume participation in the bank’s financed activities upon evidence of satisfactory completion of suitable business ethics and anti-corruption training.
