Just as in corruption, the country scored a CPIA of 3 on the cluster of Property Rights and Rule-Based Governance. President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration also scored relatively poorly on accountability and transparency, according to a new survey by the Bretton Woods institution. The Government’s fiscal, trade and financial policy got a CPIA score of four after the UhuRuto administration put in place measures to improve the business environment. The country was also lauded for its revenue mobilisation efforts, which saw Kenya Revenue Authority improving on its collection target. The Government received above average score for its management of the economy, getting a CPIA (country and policy institutional assessment) score of 4.5 out of a maximum possible six for its debt and monetary exchange rate policy.
