Kenya has ranked 13th out of 54 African countries in governance in the wake of growing concerns by experts that the continent is facing increasing crises in security and the rule of law.

This is according to the 2022 Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG), released yesterday by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, highlighting that African governance has flatlined since 2019.
