Kenyans have been sulking more than Ugandans despite easing pandemic pains, a new report indicates.
The annual World Happiness Report ranks Kenya at number 119 out of 146 countries in global happiness, barely unchanged from 121 out of 149 countries surveyed in 2021.
The report said Ugandans were the happiest people in the East African region, two places ahead of Kenya at number 117.

Kenya has for years been in the global spotlight for corruption, largely in public procurement, with former Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) chairman Philip Kinisu estimating in March 2016 that as much as a third of the annual budget was lost to graft.
Globally, Finland was named the happiest country for the fifth year in a row, followed by Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and the Netherlands in that order in the top five.
Mauritius, ranked 52nd, was named the happiest in Africa, followed by Libya, Ivory Coast, South Africa and Gambia.
