Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A majority of Kenyans perceive President Uhuru Kenyatta as among most corrupt leaders in Government as indicated in a report released by Afrobarometer.<\/p>\n

In the report published on Wednesday, November 24, a majority of Kenyans interviewed stated that the level of corruption in the Country had increased and the government was doing a poor job fighting it.<\/p>\n

Those interviewed perceived police officers as the most corrupt individuals with 68%, Members of Parliament (47%), Members of County Assembly (46%), Civil Servants (40%) and Kenya Revenue Authority (39%).<\/p>\n

Others are; Judges and Magistrates (35%), President and officials in his office (33%), Religious leaders (15%) and Traditional leaders (14%).<\/p>\n

56% of the respondents who sought key public services a year before the survey was done, stated they pay bribes to get police assistance.<\/p>\n

49% responders had to bribe to get identity document and 39% to avoid problem with the police. Another 24% had to bribe to obtain medical care while 18% to get school services.<\/p>\n

Afrobarometer is a pan-African, nonpartisan survey research network that provides reliable data on African experiences and evaluations of democracy, governance, and quality of life.<\/p>\n

The Afrobarometer team in Kenya interviewed 2,400 adult Kenyans between August and September 2019.<\/p>\n

“A sample of this size yields country-level results with a margin of error of +\/-2 percentage points at a 95% confidence level,” reads an excerpt of the report.<\/p>\n

Both in the 2013 and 2017, the Jubilee administration vowed to arrest runaway corruption within the government.<\/p>\n

Early in 2021, the president insinuated that the country was losing up to Ksh2 billion a day to corruption.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know where people got the cost of Sh2 billion or Sh14 billion. But even so, these people are on a daily basis stealing that Sh2 billion you hear people talking about. These people are deceitful,” Uhuru stated.<\/p>\n
