Transparency International has published its 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), which ranked 175 countries and territories based on how corrupt their administrative and political institutions are perceived to be on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).
Compiled from a combination of surveys and assessments of “the abuse of entrusted power for private gain,” the CPI is the most widely used indicator of corruption worldwide.
Here are the 25 most corrupt countries, according to the index.
Guess what number Kenya is…
In 2013 we were the 27th most corrupt country in the world, now we are 25th.
Keep it up guys, only 24 more slots left to number one.
What’s surprising is that there are other African countries more corrupt than Kenya.

The lowest ranked countries are perceived as “plagued by poor governance, and untrustworthy and badly functioning public institutions like police or media.”
