Kenyan President William Ruto has been ranked as the world's second most corrupt leader by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
This ranking is based on several factors:
- Public Nominations: Over 40,000 individuals nominated President Ruto for the "Person of the Year" award in organized crime and corruption.

Nationwide Protests: Kenya has experienced widespread protests against Ruto's government, driven by issues such as a contentious finance bill, high youth unemployment, and growing frustrations over government corruption.
Allegations of Corruption and Abduction: Reports have surfaced accusing Ruto's administration of greed, corruption, and the abduction of political opponents.

These factors contributed to OCCRP's decision to rank President Ruto as the second most corrupt leader globally.
The top position was assigned to former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
This ranking has significant implications for Kenya's international reputation and raises concerns about governance and accountability within the country.
