Uhuru will give us a lifeline by slaying graft dragon

The bold action taken by the President in dealing with the major issues that have plagued this country for a long time, has thrown us another lifeline. This is only comparable to that of 2003 when the optimism that greeted the NARC government was palpable.

One feels the same burst of hope after the President’s State of the Nation Address. Interestingly, this came for me against the backdrop of a week that had started as one of the darkest – stirred by the stack realisation that this nation could be on the brink of total collapse.
Throughout history, there are several vices that have brought down great men and mighty nations. If you study the downfall of many mighty empires, you can easily trace the woodworm that ate at the core of the system to have been one or all of these three: money, sex and power. Thus to wake up to the reality that the enslaving grip of this unholy trinity could be at the very core of our national being, drove me to tears.
Archbishop Eliud Wabukhala was perfectly on spot in terming our corruption levels a national disaster. The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
