DO KENYANS THINK CORRUPTION IS A NATIONAL PROBLEM?
Yes. Corruption in Kenya, which has reached endemic proportions, is now recognised as posing a real threat to democracy, and to economic and social development. A nation-wide opinion poll published in October 2001 by the International Republican Institute found that “24% of respondents say that corruption is the single most important issue facing Kenya now followed by poverty (22%) and unemployment (15%).” Today, corruption is perceived as being a more important issue than Constitutional Review.
