Stop sabotaging fight against corruption

Having rejected the sugar probe report, parliament indicated reluctance to join President Uhuru Kenyatta’s fight against corruption. And unless corruption is confronted on all fronts without flinching, the president’s Big Four agenda could easily fail to fly.

Besides the sugar probe, the demolition of buildings on riparian and public land also risks running into headwinds, especially after Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu proposed the diversion of affected rivers as an alternative to inflicting heavy losses on investors. A few days later, the owner of the Taj Mall building said to have been built on a road reserve has spoken out, daring the Government to destroy the building.
