This is a list of all average bribes by services in Kenya according to a recent research by The National Ethics and Corruption Survey. Nowadays, it has become like a norm that when you walk into any government office, you have to part with some money in order to get some services which should be free anyway. This has spread into other institutions which are not even governmental and its slowly hurting the common Mwananchi who maybe has nothing to offer but needs the services badly at that particular time.
In many cases, many Kenyans who don’t give bribes usually don’t receive Government services. If you are seeking a government tender, for example, you will have to pay more than Kshs100,000 to get it and Kshs 7,241 when following up on pension. Even crucial services like getting an NHIF card, applying for HELB loan and even seeking Government Funds like the Uwezo Funds and even Youth funds, one has to bribe his/her way through to get them.
