If you are seeking employment at the Kenya Wildlife Service, you may have to part with over Ksh200,000, according to a recent report that highlights institutions where one is likely to pay the highest bribes in Kenya.

The findings, which were drawn from the National Ethics and Corruption Survey (NECS) 2024 from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, identified the public KWS as one of the public institutions most affected by corruption, specifically in the high average bribe payment department.  Despite a drop in the national average bribe from Ksh11,625 in 2023 to Ksh4,878 in 2024, the report confirmed that corruption remained deeply entrenched in several key institutions.  On average, the Kenya Wildlife Service stands out with an average bribe payment of Ksh200,000.

It also accounted for the largest share of the total national bribe value, commanding 35.73 per cent of all reported bribes.  An image of the NSSF Building.
