Public Service Commission (PSC) survey reveals the top 10 most corrupt government offices.
A survey conducted by the Public Service Commission (PSC) has revealed major offices where Kenyans reported corruption when seeking government services.
In the survey covering the 2023/2024 financial year, the Ministry of Lands emerged as the most corrupt government office with 27.9 percent of those surveyed revealing corruption cases in the offices.
The Ministry of Lands was followed by the Public Trustee (14.3 percent) and National Registration Bureau (12.8 percent).
The other offices were the County Commissioners Office (11.1 percent), the County Referral Hospital Level 4 (9.8 percent), the Immigration Offices (8.8 percent) and the State Department for Social Protection (8.3 percent).
Civil Registration Services (7.6 percent), County Referral Hospital Level 5 (7.4 percent) and the Huduma Centres (4.1 percent) were also ranked in the bottom three of the top 10 list.
“Few respondents (5.7 percent) cited most of the institutions (71.4 percent) to be corrupt. This means most of the institutions where services were sought had varying levels of corruption,” read the report in part.
