This study examines how corruption manifests at the decentralised level, whether or not corruption is factored into budgets and whether or not service providers, consumers, audit reports and budget reports can be used to show how corruption manifests. To answer these research questions, this study utilised institutional design and decolonization of knowledge as the guiding theoretical frameworks. The methodology that this study employed was the administering of questionnaires, conducting one-on-one interviews, focus group discussions and analysing County audit and budget reports. The research revealed that there is mismanagement at the decentralised level that could lead to corruption.

MODELING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WEB-SITE EFFECTIVENESS AND SERVICE QUALITY A Study of State Level Human Services Agencies Welch, Eric W.; Pandey, Sanjay K.; Yavuz, Nilay (2010-01-01) Although effective public agency Web sites are expected to contribute positively to public service quality outcomes, the underlying etiology is not simple and needs to take into account additional factors both from within and outside the organization.
