The prevalence of corruption has entrenched the country in poverty

By Billow Kerrow

It was a pretty interesting week with major events that drew sharp focus on the Executive. The annual Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission conference on the war against corruption was held; the Budget Speech for 2013/14 was delivered; the Senate and the County Governments held a meeting to challenge the Executive’s decision to slight them, and the 2013 Human Development report was released by the United Nations. I find a common theme in all – the challenges of poverty. And corruption plays a key role.
