Abstract:This volume interrogates the question of integrity in Kenya's public service by focusing on the two foremost cases of grand corruption in postindependence Kenya, namely the Goldenberg scandal, which occurred between 1990 and 1993 and involved 493 million US dollars, and the Anglo-Leasing scandal, which occurred between 1997 and 2003, and involved c. 750.7 million US dollars. While the authors have adopted different approaches in discussing corruption in the Goldenberg and Anglo-Leasing context, all of them address the questions of what motivates corruption, what is the impact of corruption on Kenya's socioeconomic and political well-being, and what legal structures might be put in place to contain corruption. The volume is divided into four parts: 1. Politics and corruption (chapters by Morris Odhiambo, Lucky Waindi, Chweya Ludeki and Charity Wakaba); 2. Economics of corruption (two chapters by Moses Muse Sichei); 3. Corruption and corporate governance (Ludeki Chweya, Paul Musili Wambua); 4. Jurisprudence of corruption (Paul Musili Wambua).
