Abstract
Where police corruption is persistent, it represents a systemic failure of governance where the principal institutions responsible for ensuring police governance, the observance of ethics and integrity standards, and enforcing the rule of law are compromised and are themselves infested with corrupt individuals and syndicates. This chapter draws on the available data and other research information and synthesizes them to provide a coherent picture and understanding of the police corruption problem and environment in Kenya and across Africa. It serves as an illustration of the police corruption problem in sub-Saharan Africa and its linkage to, influence on, and implications for national security with relevant cross-country comparisons.
