Corruption continues to be an obstacle to our economy as it impedes innovation, affects the allocation of resources leading to widening income disparities, slows economic development and results in an overall increase in the cost of doing business. The latest report by Transparency International indicates that Kenya has gained three points in the global Corruption Perceptions Index for 2020.

Kenya scored 31 out of 100, a slight improvement from 28 points in 2019. Kenya’s ranking demonstrates that, while efforts to tackle corruption have yielded results, a lot still needs to be done in the fight against corruption. There is a need for all stakeholders to strengthen institutions that maintain checks and balances; enforce anti-corruption legislation; and support civil society.
