How our cultural roots predisposes us to corruption

In his book A Man of the People’ Chinua Achebe aptly describes our Kenyan situation.  “Once upon a time a hunter killed some big game at night (Vision 2030, Legacy Projects and Jubilee Manifesto). He searched for it in vain and at last he decided to go home and await daylight (our struggles as a Nation)

At the first light of morning, he returned to the forest full of expectation (Like all Kenyans) and what do you think he found? Two vultures fighting over what still remained of the carcass (Tuko Pamoja). In anger, he loaded his gun and shot the two dirty uneatable birds (Corruption cartels).  You may say that he was angry (as we are) and he wanted to wipe out the dirty thieves fighting over another man’s inheritance (our future).  That hunter is yourselves.
