  Kenya should build enough jails for when the true rulers of the country take office, all these corruptors will go down. They will be locked up and we shall throw away the key.

  This is a very familiar story. What shocks me is that nothing is ever done to recover the stolen money. If anything we are quick to sack the thieves which gives them amble time to go and enjoy the loot. Come to think of it, why would i want to continue toiling when i have like a billion in my account. What a rich country that allows every tom dick and harry to steal from wananchi and all is well?

  'It is our turn to eat' was the title of Githongo's book. It reflects the mentality of all elected ad aspiring leaders. Maybe one day we will rise high enough to elect leaders unto light and right. Until then, it will remain the turn of the elecorate to 'eat' during elections and the turn of the elected to 'eat' between elections. Cest-la-vie

  Hon Kirauti, your record shows dismal performance which ministry which you lead far from nyayon era. Therefore if it is not corruption, it is shear incompetence and common sense will tell any rational person that with such incompetence then, heads will rolls and to this end you should honerably resign. thank you!

  A few years back we read of arbitrary sackings of senior managers in the Supplies Department of KPC and the murder of Chief ICT manager. This was after the sacking of former MD. It seems the new management was clearing ground for major scams. Dear Kenyan, be aware of arbitrary persecution of senior managers.

  Parties aspiring for presidency, ODM included must rise to some realities. They will be judged by the performance in the current government. This might explain Karua’s insight. ODM mustn’t be obsessed with equal power dealing and ignore output. Equal power implies equal blame. ODM must re-focus energy on fighting corruption in their equal power not merely keeping ‘their’ portfolios clean.

  We are witnessing historical legacy of the most corrupt government ever. There is a quiet contention voters are forced to live with. That in this era when officials perform well, they take the credit. But in scandals such as Uhuru’s ‘typing errors’, and this one, the chief officer is clean. Their juniors or the system is blamed. Ministers, managers and finally Kibaki/Odinga are accountable.
