Responding to it has required action from all, both at the international level, and also at the national level. In Kenya, the response is by both the government and non- governmental organizations that include Anglican Church of Kenya with its anti-corruption program. In spite of the efforts put into fight the vice, corruption rages on and remains widespread. It is unclear whether or not the widespread nature of corruption is related to the efforts made to combat it. As such, the overall objective of this study therefore was to investigate the implementation and the effectiveness of the anti-corruption programme of the ACK in Maseno North Diocese. Specifically, the study sought to examine the general perception of corruption by ACK members of Diocese of Maseno North, examine the program‘s methods of dealing with corruption in the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Diocese of Maseno North, explore the adherents‘ attitude towards the anti-corruption program in the Anglican Church of Kenya Maseno North Diocese; and to lastly assess the impact of the anti- corruption program in the institutions of Anglican Church of Kenya Maseno North Diocese. The research was guided by the functional theory of religion as propounded by Emile Durkheim. According to this theory, religion is not only concerned with spiritual matters but also with social ills in the society which makes it to be an active participant in the society. Research design was descriptive. The study area was Maseno North Diocese of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) that includes Vihiga and Kakamega counties. The study population was 17,500 adherents and by using Fisher et.al method, 384 were sampled for study. Three sampling procedures namely; simple random, purposive and systematic samplings were used in this study. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed. Primary data collection methods included; interview, questionnaires, and focus group discussion. Secondary sources of data included both published and unpublished materials. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis were employed. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively based on the percentage of the respondents. Qualitative data was analyzed based on the views of the respondents and was categorized into various themes. The results of the study showed that members of the ACK Maseno North Diocese still felt that the church, just like any other institutions in Kenya, is rife with corruption and corrupt individuals. The ACK has put in place an anti-corruption programme based at the diocesan level that is slowly been trickled down to the parishes. Majority of the respondents felt that the ACK ant-corruption programme has not been very effective in implementation and that the impact of ACK anti-corruption programme is yet to be effective in the various institutions of ACK. The general conclusion is that the implementation and effectiveness of the ACK anti-corruption programme is still slow. Therefore there is need to effectively sensitize people on the anti-corruption programme in all parishes and ACK institutions to make it more effective on the ground. v TABLE OF CONTENTS TITLE PAGE ……………………………………………………………………………………..i DECLARATION ............................................................................................................................ ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................... iii DEDICATION ............................................................................................................................... iv ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... v TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................................... vi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ........................................................................................................ ix OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS OF TERMS .............................................................................. x LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... xi CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION ......................................................................................... 1 1.1 Background to the Study ........................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Statement of the Problem ........................................................................................................ 18 1.3 Objectives ............................................................................................................................... 18 1.3.1 General Objective ................................................................................................................ 18 1.3.2 Specific Objectives .............................................................................................................. 18 1.3.2 Research Questions .............................................................................................................. 19 1.4 Scope of the Study .................................................................................................................. 19 1.5 The Significance of the Study ................................................................................................. 19 1.6 Theoretical Framework ........................................................................................................... 21 CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW .......................................................................... 24 2.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................................. 24 2.2 General Perception on Corruption .......................................................................................... 24 2.3 The Anti-Corruption Methods (Initiatives) In Dealing with Corruption ................................ 42 2.4 Impact of the Anti-Corruption Programs (Initiatives) on the People‘s attitude ...................... 60 2.5 The impact of Anti-Corruption Programmes on the Institutions ............................................ 81 CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY ................................................................................. 90 3.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................................. 90 3.2 Research Design.....................................................................................................................

  • Combating Systemic Corruption in Africa: Altitudinal, Attitudinal, Confrontational Or Constitutional?
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 9 (2016 9) 2092-2123 ~ ~ ~ УДК 328.185(1-926) Combating Systemic Corruption in Africa: Altitudinal, Attitudinal, Confrontational or Constitutional? Emmanuel Oladipo Ojo* Ekiti State University Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria Received 09.06.2016, received in revised form 12.07.2016, accepted 18.08.2016 The fact and reality of systemic corruption in Africa is irrefutable. It is therefore not surprising that the subject has attracted quite a great deal of attention from the academia. Thus, to assert that corruption is the greatest impediment to the socio-political and economic development of Africa is a superfluous understatement and a mere reinstatement of the obvious. Across Africa, incredibly huge sums of money sufficient to conduct free, fair and credible elections, equip the military and the police for optimum performance, revolutionize agriculture, rejuvenate education, resuscitate infrastructures, reinvigorate the economy, revamp the industrial sector and achieve scientific and technological emancipation end up in private vaults and pockets. The consequences of this are impaired economy, immobile technology, fractured infrastructures, ill equipped armed forces, unmitigated poverty and unprecedented brigandage and banditry. This paper does not intend to contribute to the oversubscribed debate on the origins, theories and causes of corruption in Africa; rather, it addresses the question of the option(s) that could best combat systemic corruption in Africa. The paper argues that neither the altitudinal factor nor constitutional provisions could combat corruption in Africa and concludes that only attitudinal change or the confrontation option could liberate the continent from systemic corruption. The descriptive and analytical method of historical research was employed in the analysis of the data obtained for the study.

Supervisor Mr. Fidelis Muzyamba iv ABSTRACT There is a growing concern in Zambia over what many media personnel regard as news worthy stories and in particular corruption-related stories. Many argue that the media would rather cover a political story than a news beat on corruption which is of great significance to their audience. Hence one is tempted to wonder as to whether the media deliberately ignore such stories or the ownership of a particular media house has a bearing on the type of news they cover.

The post-independence leaders have tried various ways, actions, strategies and practices to bring about sustainable growth but so far to little avail. This is in stark contrast with the experiences of East Asian countries, which were at the same level of development or poorer in the 1960s. One certainty is that achieving a prosperous, sustainable society needs timely, policy- relevant and evidence-based analysis about the past, the present circumstances, and future plans and aspirations.

  • Contextualising Bureaucratic Corruption in the Botswana Public
    Contextualising Bureaucratic Corruption in the Botswana Public Service K Mudeme* School of Public Management and Administration University of Pretoria N Holtzhausen School of Public Management and Administration University of Pretoria ABSTRACT This article aims to contextualise the status of bureaucratic corruption as well as certain transparency and accountability mechanisms adopted by the Botswana public service to curb corruption. The article is structured as follows: first, the article provides a brief introductory background of Botswana in terms of the context of its accountability, transparency and corruption reputation. This is followed by an overview of the statutory and regulatory framework and a conceptualisation of bureaucratic corruption in the Botswana public service. Specific aspects related to corruption in Botswana such as the level of corruption in ministries, the forms and causes of bureaucratic corruption and the most occurring offences; are highlighted. Transparency and accountability mechanisms in the Botswana public service discussed include performance management, financial reporting, records management, public procurement regulation, e-government and meritocratic recruitment. The methodology entails a desktop analysis of literature and official documents to conceptualise the area of investigation (Auriacombe 2007). The methodological approach included specific dimensions of unobtrusive research techniques. In general, unobtrusive research techniques study so- cial behaviour to eliminate bias and promote conceptual and contextual analysis. These techniques can be applied to both quantitative and qualita- tive research (Auriacombe 2007). 188 Administratio Publica | Vol 26 No 1 March 2018 INTRODUCTORY BACKGROUND Corruption undermines good governance and countries have invested large re- sources to inhibit the ‘curse’. Implementation of good governance practices such as transparency and accountability mechanisms in the public service is an at- tempt to prevent corruption.
