The National Ethics and Corruption Survey 2015 conducted by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on the state of corruption in the country paints a gloomy picture of the country. There is enough cause for worry that despite all the hype about fighting corruption, cases of corruption have actually increased.
The survey sought to measure the levels of corruption and ethical behaviour within Government ministries and departments with a view to identifying services that were more prone to corruption. The verdict is greatly disheartening. President Uhuru Kenyatta's admission in November that corruption misdirects resources, sows hatred and divides our country was implicitly telling.
