DPP should now turn his guns on this other evil

One of the most promising aspects of Uhuru Kenyatta’s second term in office is the progress made in the fight against corruption. Over the past 15 months, Kenya has seen a raft of current and former senior figures arrested and tried for graft, something that would have been difficult to imagine just a few years ago.

This has been accompanied by a new, muscular approach to private sector corruption, with over 4,000 buildings, constructed illegally on riparian land, scheduled for demolition.
