government's anti-corruption watchdog shows that half of the citizens
believe corruption has increased under President Uhuru Kenyatta's
administration.

According to the survey released by the Ethics and
Anti-Corruption Commission Tuesday, 74% of the population believes the
level of corruption is high. Kenyatta took office in April 2013
and has repeatedly promised to eradicate graft amid pressure locally and
internationally for him take action against the problem.
Despite firing
six ministers implicated in corruption, critics say Kenyatta is not
doing enough, as high-profile suspects remain free. Philip Kinisu, chair of the ethics commission, says $6 billion, or a third of the country's budget, has been lost to graft.
