Why Kenyan youth are not to blame for the rampant corruption

There’s been a smear campaign over the last one week to paint the Kenyan youth as either compromised or flat-out corrupt. The youth will lead this nation to its detriment, it’s been repeated time and again on TV. My ears are aching from such flagrant acts of defamation.

This was after a survey conducted by the East African Institute (EAI) showed that 50% of Kenyans between the ages of 18 and 35 have no qualms whatsoever with evading taxes or bribing. An almost equal proportion, at 47%, said that they admire people who have ‘made it’ in life, regardless of how they made it, while another 30% said they’d accept a bribe from a politician in exchange for a vote.
