Uchunguzi wa EACC unaonyesha mahakimu wakipokea rushwa ya wastani ya juu zaidi

Uchunguzi wa Taifa la Jinsia na Ufisadi wa Kenya 2025 unaonyesha kuwa mahakimu walipokea kiasi cha juu zaidi cha rushwa ya wastani kwa Ksh 164,367. Hii ni kulingana na ripoti ya Tume ya Maadili na Kupambana na Ufisadi (EACC). Ripoti hiyo inaonyesha mabadiliko makubwa katika kaunti na sekta za umma.

Uchunguzi huo, uliofanywa na EACC pamoja na Ofisi ya Umma na Ufisadi wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu ya Kenya, Tume ya Jinsia na Usawa, na Transparency International Kenya, unaonyesha rushwa ya wastani ya chini zaidi iliyolipwa kwa maafisa wa usajili wa kiraia kwa Ksh1,415.

"Wateja waliochunguzwa waliripoti kuwa kiasi kikubwa cha rushwa ya pesa walicholipa kilikuwa kwa mahakimu mahakamani kwa Ksh164,367 wakati kiasi cha chini zaidi cha rushwa ya wastani (Ksh1,415) kilikuwa kwa maafisa wa usajili wa kiraia," inasema uchunguzi huo.

Kaunti za Kakamega ziliongoza kwa wastani wa Ksh79,305, ikifuatiwa na West Pokot (Ksh16,400), Isiolo (Ksh13,912), Vihiga (Ksh12,389) na Garissa (Ksh12,297). Nairobi ilishika nafasi ya 25 kwa Ksh4,223. Wastani wa kitaifa uliongezeka kutoka Ksh4,878 mwaka 2024 hadi Ksh6,724 mwaka 2025.

Huduma zinazohusishwa na rushwa mara kwa mara ni maombi ya cheti cha kuzaliwa (asilimia 23.0), kuachiliwa kutoka kizuizini (19.2), huduma za matibabu (12.8) na usajili wa kitambulisho (12.3). Wakenya wanasema walipa rushwa ili kuharakisha huduma (32.1%), kwa kuwa ni njia pekee (27.8%) au kuepuka matatizo (12.2%).
