Key Framework: Corruption is analyzed through institutional structures and political incentives, never through ethnicity. Individual actors are named but understood within the systems that enabled them. The vertical spans from systemic/structural corruption to its impact on ordinary Kenyans' daily lives, demonstrating how abstract corruption mechanisms produce concrete harm.
