Uganda and Tanzanian Govt Outshine Ruto
In the war against crime, President William Ruto is lagging behind his regional colleagues, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, and Samia Suluhu of Tanzania. It was disclosed by the Afrobarometer study.Kenya’s government was ranked 10th out of all governments in the study, which was made public on Monday, based on the initiatives implemented to lower crime rates. The state had a lower-than-average approval rating of 46%.
In comparison, Tanzania emerged second with a 74 per cent approval rating while Uganda was in position eight with 57 per cent.Benin led the ranking with a 77 per cent rating followed by Tanzania, Sierra Leone (63 per cent), Togo (62 per cent), Zambia (60 per cent), Mali (60 per cent), Niger (59 per cent, Uganda and Mauritania (57 per cent).
“How well or badly would you say the current government is handling the following matters, or haven’t you heard enough to say: Reducing crime?” was the question posed to the respondents in 39 different nations.The ranking also gave a dismal impression of how Kenyan police personnel performed across the continent.
In terms of collecting bribes, 52 percent of Kenyan respondents admitted to paying the police for assistance placing Kenya at position nine on the ranking.18 per cent of Kenyans, on the other hand, revealed that Kenyan police do not conduct themselves professionally while 38 per cent of Kenyans insisted that police officers engage in criminal activities.
According to the report’s findings, a third of Africans believe that local police generally act in a professional manner and respect the rights of individuals throughout the continent.”Of those who reported requesting police aid in the past year, 54% say it was simple to obtain the assistance they required, while 36% claim they were required to pay a bribe. Part of the findings said that 37% of those who had additional interactions with the police said they had to pay a bribe to get things done, ranging from 1% in Cabo Verde to 70% in Liberia.
From just 10% in Sudan to 77% in Benin, less than four out of ten people (37%) believe their government is doing “fairly well” or “very well” at reducing crime.As a nonpartisan, pan-African survey research network, Afrobarometer claims to offer trustworthy information about African experiences and assessments of democracy, government, and standard of living.
