ABSTRACT
COVID-19 has unleashed a crisis in public health and rule of law in Africa. In Kenya, narratives of corruption associated with the crisis are rampant. The paper evaluates political factors that amplify the response attempts in the country. It argues that traditional responses have focused on public health and economic issues. However, to develop appropriate responses, the overarching presence of neo-patrimonialism must be considered. Despite attempted governance reforms, neo-patrimonial practices have exacerbated corruption. There is a need for a rethink of governance reform strategy by acknowledging and addressing this fundamental cause, failing which there will be serious adverse public health consequences.
