Kenya: Corruption Perceptions Index 2007 may stop Kibaki’s re-election

Less than 100 days to the Presidential election Transparency International’s flagship Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for 2007 has been published. Kenya’s score of 2.1 out of 10 (rank 150 out of 180) would be classified by Transparency International as indicating rampant corruption within the Government of Kenya. Not for the first time Kenya is the lowest ranked East African Community country, but what will shock some is that Kenya is for the first time lower ranked than Nigeria and apparently as badly regarded as Zimbabwe.
