War on graft must be real and sustained

Early this year, when President Uhuru Kenyatta presented to the National Assembly a list of individuals suspected of corruption with the hope that MPs would take over from there, Kenya was thrown into instant excitement.

Many people believed the Executive had finally taken the bold step to fight corruption and set the economy free to realise its full potential. The rousing acclaim the President got from both sides of the House on that occasion was a strong pointer that Kenyans are united against corruption in high places.
