Noting that the fight against corruption has been a mix of steady progress, challenges, and setbacks. While there are institutional and legal frameworks established to fight corruption, the constant lack of political will coupled with weak enforcement of anti-corruption measures and limited prosecution of corruption cases remain fundamental obstacles.
Efforts by anti-graft institutions to curb the scourge of corruption are hindered by lack of fully constituted leaderships, limited financial support, and a weak justice system. Impunity is also rife as multiple investigative and audits reports are attended with inaction, prosecution of corruption cases done selectively, and prosecuted cases often concluded with less than stringent penalties.
