Abstract
This study sought to underscore the central role of morals and ethics in reducing judicial corruption. The paper proceeded to study the concepts of integrity and corruption. Subsequently, the paper studied Kenya’s development and current law on integrity, public service and corruption and possible areas for reform. The study found out that despite near-adequate legislations, Kenya’s jurisprudence depicts a state of despair, lack of good will and numerous constraints in the anti-corruption process: many of the cases prosecuted in court have either been terminated by the courts or have not succeeded as a result of lack of political good will and political interference. The paper concluded that corruption is not only a legal issue but also a moral one—that is why major solutions to taming judicial corruption have flopped as a result of the linear approach to offering solutions. The paper found out that in order to offer formidable solutions to corruption in the judiciary, the legislative and policy approaches ought to be structured and conceptualized in a more realistic and feasible manner to that of ordinary obligations and offences. As a central point of interest, premium must be attached to integrity, as a moral concern, in order to offer sustainable solution to corruption in the judiciary.

Most of the judicial corrupters are relatives of judges, practicing lawyers or their predatory intermediaries.” He further asserts that “in this country (America), we believe, or at least claim to believe, in equality before the law. Those who have the money or the contacts, or both, exert a judicial pressure that eliminates equality and promotes a double standard of justice. This paper will research on: the concept of integrity and corruption; Kenya’s anti-corruption legislative and survival history; the current law on integrity, public service and corruption and whether there is any need for reform; lessons from the past-how Kenya has failed in the process of curbing corruption; and some suggestions to preventing corruption
