The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) has released its annual report, ranking Kenyan President William Ruto as the second most corrupt leader globally.

The report, which assesses corruption and organized crime across various governments, has drawn attention to widespread allegations of corruption involving top officials within Ruto’s administration.

The OCCRP’s findings have raised serious concerns about the extent of corruption within Kenya’s political elite, with specific focus on reports of embezzlement, misuse of public funds, and ties to corrupt business practices.

Despite Ruto’s promises to fight corruption and uphold transparency, his government has been embroiled in multiple scandals, which have tarnished his reputation and raised questions about the effectiveness of his anti-corruption efforts.

The ranking places Ruto just behind other global figures often associated with corruption, and this development is expected to lead to increased international pressure for accountability in his administration. Critics argue that this high rank highlights the urgent need for comprehensive reforms to address corruption at the highest levels of government in Kenya.
