A notable giant stride has just been taken by the Kenya to have launched
a website which will allow users to report corruption directly to the head of
state, in a bid to improve the country's status.
This development has shown that President Uhuru Kenyatta's commitment to
tackle rampant graft in the country is committed to clean government and this
site advances his intention to act strongly against corruption, There is a form
designed on the website that will allow users to remain anonymous and to upload
video, audio recordings or other documents to the site as evidence, with a drop
down menu providing a long list of civil service or government departments to
complain about.
Citizens of the Country can also send in complaints by SMS text message
the website reads www.president.go.ke.
This may be a step to help move Kenya which is presently ranked 139 out of 176
countries by the campaign group Transparency International, on its global
corruption perceptions index. Transparency International said earlier this
month that while bribery remains high in Kenya, only seven in 100 reported or complained
if they encountered corruption.
