President Uhuru Kenyatta should be commended for giving government officials seven days to explain how they spent over Sh300 billion the Auditor General says is unaccounted for in the 2011/2012 financial year. We hope the reports will be made public and appropriate sanctions imposed on those who fail to offer satisfactory explanations.
Although it would be over-reaching to expect President Kenyatta to take the same route recently taken by Malawi President Joyce Banda, who sacked her whole cabinet following accusations of massive corruption, it may not be too much to hope that the individuals found to have enriched themselves would be sacked, prosecuted and their ill-gotten wealth seized. Kenyans have waited a long time to see action against looters of public coffers to accept anything less than that.
