Most Kenyans have little confidence in key national institutions, including the Presidency, the police and Parliament according to the latest survey by pollster TIFA.
In its second National Survey, TIFA found that a majority of respondents expressed distrust in president William Ruto, with 45 per cent who saying they do not trust him, compared to just 11 per cent who said they have complete trust in the Head of State.
The Survey also revealed widespread scepticism towards other state institutions. 43 per cent of respondents said they do not trust the police, while only 8 per cent expressed full confidence in the service. similarly, 42 per cent reported having no trust in Parliament, compared to 7 per cent who said they trust the Legislature.
TIFA conducted the poll with a sample size of 2,013 respondents across all 47 counties.
The respondents (41%) also said they lack faith in the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), as 10 per cent said they believe in the institution.
Thirty two percent also said they do not trust the Judiciary, while 11% maintained their confidence.
The respondents argued that these institutions have failed to satisfy their mandates in key policy areas that sustain reputable governance.
These sectors include taxation, security, health, education, political stability, election preparedness and protection of human rights.
