Kenyans Ranked Among World's Most Dishonest People

Can we know the western idiots who did the survey.Personally i will never believe any survey done by wazungus in western world coz they alway n always rank africa or poor countries the more bad than western world n some of us have leaves in this countries n we know the bad worse n uglier side of them???Can they do another survey of where evil immorality of any kind is??Countries which have killed innocent women kids around the world for resources or control??

Not surprising at all. Kenyans are led by thieves as the US ambassador has been saying since he took up his post. The newspapers are scandal after scandal. The ordinary kenyan sees nothing wrong with leaders who still public resources.

Especially the Blatantant ADULTURES and their Cheerleaders (in Destroying marriages) Houston, TX.

Ukweli mtupu! Ni nadra kumpata Mkenya aliye muaminivu, iwe ni serikalini, misikitini, manyunbani, mashuleni, mashinani, mahospitalini, makaburini...kokote kule. Ni nadra kumpata Mkenya ambaye anaweza kuaminika kwa vyovyote vile, na kwa chochote kile. Ni muhimu kusisitiza hapa kwamba, kunao Wakenya ambao ni waaminifu kuzaliwa, kulelewa na kusomeshwa, ila tu ni idadi yao haifikii katu thuluthi moja. Aliyekuwa rais wa Zimbabwe Bw Robert Mugabe alinena, kwamba Wakenya ni wezi, kila mtu alimrushia matusi na kumkemea vikali. Ni jambo la kuabisha wakati wageni wanapotuambia namna tulivyo, huku Wakenya wengine wakidhubutu kufunika ukweli ulio wazi. Kwa mfano, ajali itokeopo mahali popote, badala ya Wakenya kuwaokoa manusuru, wanapekua pekua mifuko na kuwaibia maiti na walio mahututi. Wakati magari ya uchukuzi wa vidhaa kama vile petroli, pombe, unga, sukari, na kadharika yanapobingirika, Wakenya kule mashinani huonekana wakipora na kukimvia nazo. Hii ni baadhi tu ya mifani ya vile tulipo kama wananchi wenye nchi. Utazame ukosefu wa uaminifu baina ya Wabunge "manguruwe", magavana, mawaziri, MCAs, wamama wa Kaunti, wasimamizi wa mashirika ya serikali na vyombo vya asisi. Wakenya wana safari ndefu ya kujibizana na kujiuliza maswali chungu nzima, kabla ya watoto wetu hawajaiga tabia hizi potovu. Ama sivyo...

That's totally false, Kenyans are the living saints. Whoever conducted that research must be crazy!! Kenyans work around the clock taking care of abandoned elders and retards in all developed nations actually if heaven exists, it will be full of Kenyans
Thanks lord for creating Kenyans!!!!!.

I am a proud Kenyan and have honestly returned a couple iPhones that I found in public restrooms. I can attest this is not an accurate survey 😂😂 Wacha tu!

I wish I could say this is fake. I wish I had the courage to dispute it. Sadly though, this rings true and accurate of the Kenyans I have interacted with, and I have been interacting with Kenyans for over 5 decades. Friends,let's reverse this trend.

Dear Kenyans, I wish I could scream that this is a lie and that it is not true. Sadly, based on my 50 plus years interacting with my fellow Kenyans, this rings so true. Let's reverse this trend.

Who funded the $600,000 study? I guess the most honest country.

Kenyans are no angels but they are nowhere in the bottom quarter. This is another Western poke to make others look bad ....labeling others ...thereby covering their own shortcomings. THE WEST IS ROTTEN!!

Chevukati seems to have lost his bait to "TEAM MAFISI" the hard way eehh! Mpaka the dude listed names and their slay queens. To some extend I pity him but "WACHUNGAJI" are doing their thing and fully executing 100%.
Back to the issue of our 254's being dishonest; its relative, if the survey was done in Kisumu then it could right with a margin of error of1% BUT if was conducted in Rift Valley then its false. I wonder what was the sample group and location!!!
Otherwise, it is skewed, to say the least

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Chevukati is back y'all! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nina imani Kenya inaweza kubadilika na kuwa na "dhamiri" na "utu" tena. Hayati Mwalimu Nyerere wa Tanzania alisema, "...It can be done, play your part."

Mimi binafsi nimekula kiapo changu mwenyewe kinachosema:

"Nitamsaidia binadamu mwenzangu iwapo nina uwezo wa kufanya hivyo. Lakini, sitamsadia binadamu mwenzangu nikiwa na madhumuni ya kupokea kitu chochote kwa msaada niliotoa. Sitatoa wala kupokea hongo kutoka kwa binadamu mwenzangu. Kwa azimio hili langu, niko tayari kufa."

IMARA DAIMA

Incorrect! I am not commenting on the honesty or lack of, of Kenyans, that I cannot tell and no one can from that study, but I am commenting on this news article and the original study. First the news item is alarmist in its title. And the original scientific study is underpowered (i.e. has very few people from the cities they sampled to claim any valid generalization). Here is why:
Here are issues to have in mind when interpreting the Kenyan section of the results, the principle also being applicable to others.
In Kenya, the original study (link below) only sampled 274 persons out of the total population of 52 million people. Think about that for a second. That translates at the country level, to the action of 1 person in that study being generalized to or representing/speaking for 190,000 Kenyans, or at the city level, with Nairobi as an example, 1 person to the action of 1 person in that study being generalized to or representing/speaking for
83,000 Nairobians!

Another important thing to consider is that the only way the person who collected the wallet could contact the owner was via email, think about that for a second: This assumes that each of those persons who collected the wallets had to have a wallet, if your Mr. City Hawker, or Mama mboga, or indeed anyone who in general would not have access to email collected it, then by default they would not have the chance to contact the owner of the wallet even if they wanted to, hence the study might interpret their actions as being dishonest people. What if they took it to the police station for instance? Its still unlikely the police would write the email to the owner either.

Lastly, the study on focused on only 6 cities/towns in Kenya, sampling an average of 40 persons per city/town. Do you really think that represents a fair generalization of all cities/towns leave alone not having sampled the countryside residents?

In whose interest is this survey?
Who funded it? and what is it's intended purpose?
Who is it trying to uplift and who is is trying to condemn?
Just look at the history of the reporting and learn. Whose soul is in the report?
Interesting!!

Says a mzungu who whoodwinked us and colonized an entire continent, lied even with the bible on one hand and a noose on the other , pleaseee!!

Did they drop a wallet in the poor neighborhoods of America? Ngombe Maasai. This is the biggest lunacy of the 21st century in terms of researching anything. Come drop a wallet in some places here and see for yourself.

If iam dead broke and pray for cash then next day I find a wallet fill of cash totaling 500 dollars ,that's my prayer being answered
Who can argue against that?

My goodness! Where is Nigeria in these survey? Anyway,I am not surprised! Corruption & dishonesty go hand in hand! We should have been ranked next after the Chinese! We also excell in immorality! we simply are a stinking,selfish, hard working thieves proudly known as Kenyans! Pooh!

I'm wondering what this nonsensical research is aimed to achieve. You are all hell bend on pointing an accusatory finger yet all refugees are pulling up in Kenya.

Westerners ate flocking Kenya investing, some have made Kenya their home. Relocating their children from their countries claimed to be heaven on earth and settling to the beautiful magical Kenya they call home today. Kenya is a home to Somalis, Ethiopia's, south Sudanese, Congolese, rwandese, Ethiopians, Eritrean's, Malawians, Zimbabweans and many more Africans and westerners including Asians who have made Kenya home. How could you then turn and beat the hand that feeds you. Shame on you. Kenya has become a shared country and Kenyans with their joy, happiness, kindness, love and generosity have welcomed every rifruff and ragtag that has sort refuge.

We have been killed, our country terrorised because of the many foreigners we have allowed to share our beautiful country with. We have allowed many to grace our boarders and trade. Kudos Kenyans.

If you are a Kenyan, lift your head up, stand tall and be proud of your self, your country, our people and our sovereign Nation. # I'mkenyan#proudofkenya#proudofmycountry#proudofourpeople

We love and don't hate. Kenya is all about peace, love and unity.

Shame to those who seek to shame Kenya.

Atî atia? Anyways dropping a wallet in kenya is the same as giving it to charity .

On the good side we were 36 out of 40 which means we lose even at stealing.

Wa China nao ni wezi, they are stealing your country right out from under you na hamuoni .

Na hayo machache wacha nitafute corruption ya leo

Wazungu wenyewe walituibia mpaka nchi, now they wanna call who dishonest? Pumbavu wao

Wakenya ni wezi but who cares .... wazungu are liars and murderers and worse thieves, wakafanye study huko kwao.

I agree with the fact that Kenya is going through rough time. Poverty is the reason for dishonesty. But we cannot ignore the fact that those who need to help us with lost items are the ones dishonest. I mean police officers.

We Kenyans are so dishonest that many of us on this comment section are claiming that they don't see how this can be! The test might not have been perfect, but are you guys seriously or dishonesty runs that strongly in your psyche? I am Kenyan and other than Nigerians, hakuna mtu naongopa sana when dealing with any financial issue (big or small)kama mkenya. Hata blood relatives siku hizi, you have to be extra cautious.

This is typical cooked and funded research by colonialists, sucking Africa dry of it's resources. Now feeling like “gods of truth” dazzling expensive rings with rocks and minerals looted from Africa. If they are lesser liars let them return what they took from Africa and stop playing "Place a wallet" to give us blanket judgement. Whoever funds for such is corrupt himself and a slave to lies.

what is presented here is fallacy of generalisation. it's wrong n immoral

Salaams to Margaret Nyoike of Reach for Resources, Minneapolis. Tell her Beiersdorf is still waiting for its money. Kenyans are indeed very honest.

Don't deny it. Kenyans are thieves; and the proclivity to thievery is geospatial.

Do not deny it. Kenyans are thieves; and the proclivity to thievery is geospatial

I tend to agree. And its all linked to our greed and love for money. The levels of corruption,which is dishonesty, also point to this and yet over 75% of kenyans visit a place of worship between friday and monday.

Countries with well performing economies are less likely to have citizens with a stealing culture. The researchers could have tried to conduct the same research in countries with similar economic ratings. It is not entirely true that Kenyans are really that bad because it does also depends on many factors including personal upbringing in family, education and traditional cultural values imparted in individuals. Bias in research is usually expected and may not necessarily reflect the actual reality of things.

Lets not cheat our selves stealing is not in kenya Alone Even hear In Arizona state Every day the News is just About Grocery stores being broken into hapa wizi ndiyo kwa sana idare the idiot who did the Research to come and try to leave that wallet here Atajua hajui
