Graft in Kenya and Burundi worsened last year, a new survey showed, defying a trend of improvement by other East African partners.

Kenya was ranked at position 144 out of 180 globally in the Transparency International (TI) 2018 global Corruption Perception Index (CPI), a drop from 143 the previous year. The country’s state of corruption ranking also slipped one point to 27 in 2018 compared to 2017.
