Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Most Kenyans decide not to report corruption and other related unethical practices for fear of harassment and victimization. The latest report by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission released on Friday shows that six in 10 Kenyans would rather not report a corruption incident.<\/p>\n

This is over concerns of potential harassment and reprisal. Fifty seven per cent said it is due to the long distance to the reporting places and authority while another 56 per cent let go due to the long and complex reporting process.<\/p>\n

\u201cClose to a fifth (18.6 per cent) of the respondents indicated that given an opportunity, they would engage in a corrupt or unethical practice,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n

The report further says that 13.9 per cent have actually participated in an act of corruption or unethical conduct in the past one year. \u201cThe national average bribe increased considerably from Sh3,833.14 in 2018 to stand at Sh5,889.89 in 2021,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n

The report notes that delay in service provision prompted 44.5 per cent of the respondents to pay bribes to hasten up a service while 41.4 percent paid because it was the only way they could access a service.<\/p>\n

The overall aim of the survey was to establish the status of corruption and ethics in the country, as well as experiences and perceptions of citizens on various aspects in the efforts to tame the vice.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted among members of the public aged above 18 years at the household level in 600 clusters with a total of 5,847 household respondents drawn from all the 47 counties. The respondents were required to give feedback on their interaction with public officers while seeking services in public offices.<\/p>\n
