Revisiting the Leadership and Integrity Act: An Analysis of Article 80(a) on Procedures and Mechanisms in the 2010 Kenyan Constitution

Abstract

The dissertation evaluates the effects of the watered-down Leadership and Integrity Act and how it has fallen short of constitutional standards. The research focuses specifically on the effectiveness of the procedures and mechanisms delineated in Article 80(a) of the Constitution of Kenya. Regarding the effects of the Act, unethical leadership continues to persist in Kenya. This is evidenced from the numerous high-profile financial scandals and national goals remaining unmet. There is no consistent threshold on the standard of integrity, and this has influenced the application of the law in cases.
