Corruption is perhaps the most frowned upon vice in public institutions in Kenya, however, it ranks position five among the common forms of unethical conduct.
According to a report released by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on Monday, delays in service provision is the most prevalent vice.
The report notes that 17.1% of the respondents indicated that they have encountered service provision delays at least twice - making it the most common vice in Kenya.
Second in the list is discrimination where an equal number of respondents have been victims of the vice.
16.3% of the respondents also noted that they have encountered cases of misuse of property at least twice.
At the fourth position is the putting of self-interest before public interest where 15.1% of the respondents have encountered the vice on one or two occasions.
After corruption, other vices that Kenyans have encountered include lateness and absenteeism.
In a bid to seek services from public institutions, Kenyans have also had to grapple with attendants who are drunk on duty and deal with abusive or intimidating behaviour.
Other vices include lack of compliance with rules and regulations and favouritism on basis of ethnicity.
Kenyans also frequently deal with sexual harassment, indecent dressing, giving false information and abuse of power.
