The research focused on corruption, Governance and National Security and how both concepts
affect the latter. Available literature showed how these concepts were interrelated, and how they
influenced each other. To address this, the research aimed at examining three broad areas namely,
examining the impact of corruption on Kenya’s national security, examining the extent bad
governance attributes to corruption in the country and how institutionalization of corruption has
impacted national security. The research was guided by Public Choice Theory, which delved into
matters of corruption and institutions. The study design mostly applied the usage of questionnaires.
The questionnaires used both open ended and closed ended questions. The use of questionnaires
informed the primary data collection. Secondary data was collected through the usage of thematic
reviews of literature on corruption, governance and National Security.
Corruption undeniably has become part and parcel of the Kenyan society, with it acquiring a
systemic nature. Institutions on the other hand, namely the police institution and the political
institutions have not been left far behind. This has led to a dent in the National Security of the
country, through providing favourable grounds for criminal activities to thrive. Corruption and bad
governance, has greatly impacted the country’s national security, with citizens feeling insecure
in their own state. The country needs efficient accountability mechanisms and full
implementation of the constitution.
