Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya has been ranked position 123 out of 180 countries globally in the latest Corruption Perception Index (CPI) released by Transparency International.<\/p>\n

The country scored 32 points out of a possible 100, with Denmark topping the list with 90 points. This is, however, a slight improvement for Kenya from a score of 30 points in 2021.<\/p>\n

Somalia is ranked at the bottom of the list with only 12 points. \u201cThe corruption index reveals that two out of three countries meaning 122 countries have a serious corruption problem, scoring below 50 points,\u201d the report shows.<\/p>\n

A country\u2019s score is the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0-100, where 0 means highly corrupt and 100 means very clean. CPI measures how corrupt each country\u2019s public sector is perceived by experts and business people.<\/p>\n

The corruption watchdog which is leading the fight against corruption has said that most countries have made little or no progress in tackling the vice in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

Regionally, Uganda emerged at position 142 with 26 points, Tanzania at 94 with 38 points and Rwanda at 54 with 51 points. According to TI, each country\u2019s score is a combination of at least three data sources drawn from 13 different corruption surveys and assessments.<\/p>\n

The data sources, it said, are collected by a variety of reputable institutions which includes the World Bank and the World Economic Forum (WEF). Data sources used to compile the index, TI said, are based on bribery, diversion of public funds, officials using their public offices for private gains without facing consequences and the ability of governments to contain corruption in the public sector.<\/p>\n

Others are state capture by narrow vested interests, nepotism in the public service, legal protection for people who report cases of bribery and corruption, access to information on public affairs or government activities and laws ensuring that public officials must disclose their finances and potential conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n
