The International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre (IACCC) has published a case study detailing its role in facilitating international cooperation in Kenya's investigation of corruption at Migori County Government. The case involved the embezzlement of KES 2bn ($US 15.5m) between 2013 and 2017 through irregular procurement contracts by former County Governor Okoth Obado and associates. Through the IACCC, Kenya's Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission obtained intelligence on suspect assets, travel records and purchases across multiple jurisdictions including Australia and the UK. This intelligence enabled the preparation of targeted mutual legal assistance requests to Australia, England, Wales and Scotland, which provided formal evidence from banks, universities and property companies. The coordinated international cooperation resulted in an out-of-court settlement worth KES 235.6m ($US 1.8m) in recovered assets, including eight properties and two vehicles purchased abroad. The case study demonstrates the IACCC's capacity to streamline cross-border corruption investigations through consolidated intelligence gathering, reducing the need for multiple separate requests to different jurisdictions and enabling more precise mutual legal assistance applications.

The court determined that companies have direct obligations regarding climate change impacts and states must implement mandatory environmental impact assessments for projects with significant environmental risks. The opinion precedes an anticipated International Court of Justice ruling on climate obligations due 23 July 2025.
