Social media as an anti-corruption tool

Kenya: Kenya is one of the countries that has been high on the list of regions adversely impacted by corruption. As time goes by, the chorus of dismay from citizens appears to be getting louder and louder. Last week, the President asked government officials, State corporation chiefs and other officials whose names appeared in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission's report on corruption to step aside and make way for investigations.

While this may act as the first step in curbing the menace, this alone will not be enough. A lot must be done to effectively address the issues annexed to the seemingly towering challenges of corruption. One way is by making use of social media as a tool to fight corruption.
