Kenya faces significant challenges with unethical practices and corruption, driven by a range of pressing circumstances. The leading factor, cited by 31.3% of respondents, is the need for assistance to secure employment.
A close second at 27.6% is the desperation that arises when unethical behavior seems like the only viable option.
Other major drivers include evading police arrest (25.9%), gaining access to essential medical services (21.2%), and the desire to get services done quickly (19.8%).
Lower but still notable factors include high demand for services (6.9%), obtaining vital documents like ID cards (6.9%), and avoiding problems with authorities (6.1%).
These findings underscore that corruption in Kenya is often not just about greed, but is deeply intertwined with a struggle for basic needs, safety, and efficiency within a flawed system.
