HOW DOES KENYA RANK INTERNATIONALLY VIS-A-VIS CORRUPTION?
According to the annual Corruption Perceptions Index, Kenya is perceived as having among the most corrupt government and public officials. Since its first CPI ranking Kenya’s record has deteriorated steadily. 1996 – 3rd from the bottom of all countries surveyed with only Pakistan and Nigeria performing worse; 1998 – 73rd out of 85 countries surveyed in an expanded index; 1999 – 90th of the 99 countries surveyed; 2000 – 82nd out of 90 countries surveyed; 2001 – 84th out of 91 countries surveyed with only Indonesia, Uganda, Nigeria and Bangladesh ranking lower on the list. A dismal performance year after year!
