Tackling the Corruption Epidemic in Kenya: Toward a Policy of More Effective Control

Kempe Ronald Hope, Sr.

Development Practice International. Oakville, Canada

Despite the existence of an Anti-Corruption Commission and
several other measures that have been put in place to try to tackle
the corruption problem, Kenya is still classified as one of the most corrupt States in the world. Most of these anti-corruption measures were put in place less than a decade ago, and may be categorized as either legal frameworks or as institutional initiatives and other strategies. This work provides a brief summary of the more important measures that have been put in place to control the corruption epidemic in Kenya, but also notes the continuing prevalence of corruption. It then offers key lessons and provides analytical policy recommendations for a more effective control of corruption in the country.
