Abstract

Kenya is one of the most predatory states in Africa and has become a brigand economy where corruption pervades all levels of society. Paying bribes to the police and bureaucrats remains routine for ordinary Kenyans. This chapter takes a governance and development perspective to examine the causes and consequences of corruption in Kenya. It identifies the key drivers and synthesizes and analyzes available data, indicators, and other information in that regard. It then provides a brief summary of the more important measures that have been put in place to control the corruption epidemic in Kenya and then offers key lessons and policy recommendations for a more effective control of corruption in the country.
