The main objective of this study is to isolate the loopholes in Kenya’s anti-corruption machinery and explore mechanisms of sealing them. This study is particularly momentous as it seeks to explore and outline what lessons Kenya could derive from Botswana in order to realign its anti-corruption strategies so that it can achieve high levels of integrity in the public service. It is believed that this study will positively contribute to efforts by the Kenyan government, and by other African states similarly situated, to comprehensively address the high prevalence of corruption in the continent. / Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2007. / A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa).
