A survey conducted by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has revealed that Busia County leads in the counties where one is likely to be asked for a bribe.

The National Ethics and Corruption Survey (NECS) 2023 whose aim is to provide data on corruption and unethical conduct to generate indicators focusing on trends, magnitude, likelihood, prevalence, and impact of corruption and unethical conduct in the country also ranked Nyamira as the top county where one is likely to offer a bribe.
Busia, Baringo, Nairobi, Nakuru and Machakos Counties are the five most bribery-prone counties. This means those seeking services in these counties are likely to be asked for bribes to get the services.

Each time a service is sought in Busia County one is likely to be asked for a bribe 2.02 times. Each time a service is sought in Baringo, Nairobi, Nakuru and Machakos counties one is likely to be asked for a bribe 1.34 times, 1.12 times, 1.11 times and 1.09 times, respectively, the survey showed.
The least counties where one is likely to be asked to pay a bribe for services are Nandi (0.50), Nyeri (0.49), Vihiga (0.47), Embu (0.43) and lastly Lamu (0.40).
