Only a new sheriff will deal decisively with grand graft

What is happening in Kenya today is not corruption. It is grand larceny. When thieves hide in government and steal billions on an ever-expanding scale, you cannot call that corruption. It is plunder of the highest order. Grand larceny is itself the mother of all plunders. This is what is happening in Kenya. Each morning, citizens wake up to fresh revelations of looted billions by people in power. Please understand that these people know that the reason they are in Government is to steal. Everything else is a matter of detail. That is why they no longer engage in pilferage. They loot.

In corruption, the concerned parties will lace the budget of a given project with a thin layer of illicit markup. When the funds are paid, they will scrap off this slim filament for selfish gain. If you are not so inquisitive, you may just fail to notice that something irregular has been done.
