A new report has raised concern about widespread corruption and poor financial management on the back of an ailing economy.

The report by Africa Centre for Open Governance (Africog) and Okoa Uchumi partners outlines a pattern of manipulated policies, mismanaged loans, and opaque mega-projects, all tied to top government officials.

It recounts an admission by the former Attorney General Justin Muturi that he was pressured to approve loans irregularly. "This is not just financial mismanagement.

It is a system designed to loot public resources through state machinery," notes the report.
