Corruption has spiralled under Jubilee government’s watch

NAIROBI: ‘Tofauti iliyoko kati ya Jubilee na CORD ni kama giza na mchana’ - (the difference between Jubilee and CORD is like day and night) - Deputy President William Ruto. When the DP publicly uttered these words, he was out to extol the virtues of his political party of choice while deriding the prickly Opposition. Time has proven Mr Ruto’s opine right and indeed, the difference between the two parties is stark.

At least 90 per cent of Kenyans were in the dark after the Jubilee government switched off the three major television stations in the country. As a median of communication and bridging the distance gap, television has aided millions of Kenyans in keeping abreast with news across the world. In line with the maxim ‘you can tell a man’s character by the company he keeps’, the government appears to have borrowed the communist ideals of restraining the media which has been instrumental in bringing to the public domain the evil that those who purport to lead us to Canaan have been subjecting us to.
