What you need to know:

  • A report published by Africog in 2016, reported 88.5 percent of citizens believe that the police frequently engage in corruption. 
  • And among those paying bribes are boda boda operators, matatu crew and other motorists caught flouting the law.

On December 9 every year, the world marks the international anti-corruption day to help raise awareness on graft and highlight rights and responsibilities for everyone in the fight against the vice. 

Yesterday, Kenya joined in observing this year’s event with the theme: “Your right, your role: Say no to corruption!”
