The observance of the World Anti-Corruption day on Saturday (December 9) came at an opportune time, because the scourge of corruption in Kenya has seemingly refused to go away. Corruption has, over the years, permeated all levels of society and alarmingly, seems to have been accepted as a way of life.
Corruption is a long-standing issue that needs to be tackled more decisively. Those charged with this onerous task must move away from the usual placatory words they feed Kenyans on once in a while even as the vice moves from strength to strength.
