Kenya's ongoing efforts to strengthen governance and combat corruption received commendation from Danish Diplomat, Henrik Larsen, who underscored the country's progress in enhancing institutional efficiency.

While speaking at a forum on corruption and governance held in Nairobi Monday, the Head of Development Cooperation at the Embassy of Denmark in Kenya highlighted the critical role of public trust in government institutions in determining national well-being.

Larsen's remarks come in the wake of Denmark's slip from its top position in the global happiness rankings, with Finland now leading the list.

He attributed Denmark's decline in part to governance challenges, reinforcing the importance of institutional transparency and accountability, values that Kenya is actively working to uphold.
