President Kibaki’s anti-corruption drive in Kenya appears to be paying off. The World Bank just authorized $200m USD in loans and grants to support a variety of projects, including airport security, agriculture and sewage. The World Bank had pulled out of Kenya in the late 1990s citing concerns about corruption. Kenya’s president has taken a number of steps to combat corruption, including public trials of government officials accused of corruption and a raise in salaries for police officers to discourage them from taking bribes.
