Abstract: This study sought to examine the prevalence of corruption activities in public secondary schools in Nakuru and Nyandarua counties Kenya.. The study used the correlational research design. The target population comprised of 420 principals, 840 heads of departments, 420 bursars in public secondary schools, two county directors of education and six school auditors making a total of 1688 school respondents. The study employed the formula of Cochran to get a sample of 313 respondents while the two county directors of education and six school auditors were purposively sampled, to give a sample size of 322 respondents. Data was collected using the questionnaire constructed on a five point Likert scale. The research instruments were Pilot tested. Data was analysed using both the descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The study established that the existence of corruption in public secondary schools is indisputable though the level of corruption activities was moderate; prevalence of corruption Nyandarua and Nakuru Counties was largely the same. The study recommended that there is need to put in place intervention measures to address the corruption in public secondary schools in Nyandarua and Nakuru Counties.
