KENYA: FINANCE MINISTRY FALLS AT THE HEART OF POLITICAL POWER STRUGGLE

   Mon, 29 July 2019

There has been a notable improvement in curbing state corruption over the past two years, yet no senior officials have so far been convicted. The recent arrest of Kenya’s finance minister has been motivated more by the country’s shifting ethno-political dynamics than a determination to crack down on graft. The foreign investment projects implicated in such instances are at relatively low risk of cancellation without clear evidence of illegal transfers, although resultant confusion within the Kenyan Treasury will throw planned infrastructure and development projects into doubt.
