Corruption

The Problem.
Corruption has reached endemic levels. Service delivery by public officers has been severely hampered by it. Services are offered on nepotism and ethnicity bases and for monetary gain. The whole public sector is involved. This has erased public confidence on the governance system and has threatened the rule of law. Many Kenyans are faced with hardships unnecessarily due to corruption.

The Executive has in many occasions interfered with the judiciary process, this is a manifestation of abuse of office; The judiciary is under the influence of the rich. The police force has not been empowered to prevent crime and prosecute lawbreakers. Due to poor working and living conditions their morale to perform their duties efficiently has been compromised. This has exposed them to engage in corruption. The culture of people I authority and politicians to interfere with police operations has led to the force to be manipulated observing orders from above and from people with influence.

 

The Provincial Administration has for many years engaged in corrupt such as land grabbing, misappropriation of development funds, eviction of indigenous people from their land and illegal collection of money from wananchi as Harambee or for the services they offer. The civil service has been characterized with corrupt activities, particularly the Immigration and registration of persons department for instance they frustrate wananchi by taking too long to issue Identity card and passports to deserving people. However, those with money to offer get these important documents without delay. This also has lead to many foreigners to acquire such Kenyan documents.

In the Lands department, handouts have always influenced service delivery; illegal transaction is the order of the day. In government hospitals, artificial shortage of drugs is a common practice caused by corrupt health workers. Essential services from the local Authorities are unavailable, substandard roads and buildings, piles of uncollected garbage, poor town planning, are daily happenings. All these are caused by rampant corruption in the local authorities. Financial institutions and state corporations are collapsing due to big corruption scandals such as Anglo leasing and Golden Berg. All these indicate that the rate corruption in the government circles is too high.
