Kenya

Kenya is a republic with three branches of government: an executive branch, led by a directly elected president; a bicameral parliament consisting of the Senate and National Assembly; and a judiciary. In the August general elections, the third under the 2010 constitution, citizens cast ballots for president, deputy president, and parliamentarians, as well as county governors and legislators. International and domestic observers judged the elections generally free and fair, although the opposition alleged there were irregularities. There were reports that members of the security forces committed numerous abuses. The government continued to prioritize investigations and prosecutions of terrorist activities. The government took credible steps to identify and punish officials who may have committed human rights abuses, but impunity was a problem at all levels of government.

For better comparability, we have converted the original scores of the indices to a uniform scale of 1-100 (1 most negative, 100 most positive).

In the following table you find these recalculated values and the original score in brackets behind them.

For information and a link to the original index click on "?" in the table.

The Overall Score is the geometric mean of all converted values for each country. It is subcategorized in five risk categories with colour gradations that can be seen in the map.
