This paper discusses the role of Western Diplomats in Kenya’s anti-corruption measures. One of the realities of relations among nation-states is their independence. No nation-state is so self-sufficient as to exist in isolation from other states. Anti-corruption measures refer to strategies a given state has developed internally and externally to curb and eliminate corruption. In this regard, this paper will investigate and address the following questions: What are the causes and extent of corruption in Kenya? Why and how has corruption attracted the attention of foreign diplomats?To what extent has the intervention of foreign diplomats influenced Kenya’s anti-corruption policy and implementation? Answers to these questions will be core to our study.
