New NYS scam episode revealed yesterday sheds
light on the corruption magnitude in this country. Nevertheless, Josephine
Kabura, the national assembly public accounts committee guest, literally proved
that who you know matters for you to succeed in this country. Four years ago
she was just a mere hairdresser with only Ksh.650 in her bank account. Meeting
the former devolution cabinet secretary as she said is what led her to a multi million NYS tenders. A deal that turned sour to her.
Like many struggling youths, I think Miss Kabura
had a dream to succeed in life, make big deals, make money and drive a big car.
Her prayers got answered and yes got lifted from grass to grace. From the
chronology of events on how she got assisted to win tenders, it’s a dream of
any hustler to find a ‘Godfather’ to aid in stepping up the ladder. For
tarmacking graduates is more than winning lotto lottery.
