University students have been challenged to lead in fight against corruption, with anti-graft officials warning that dishonesty, academic fraud and unethical conduct are threatening the country’s social and economic progress.

The call came during the launch of the Ethics and Integrity club at Mount Kenya University (MKU), an initiative aimed at nurturing ethical leadership among young people.

Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Chairperson Dr David Oginde urged learners to reject corruption, examination malpractice, plagiarism and the use of fake academic certificates, warning that such shortcuts undermine national development.
