It’s time to go for broke, reveal how deep corruption is

The recent outbursts by William Ruto and his sycophants on the war on corruption reveal a troubled man with his back to the wall. It is not clear why he would do it, but his emotional effort to minimise the “Damsgate” scandals by reducing the amounts at stake to Sh7 billion from Sh21 billion was unnecessary. This is a biggie, with billions dished out without a sign of any work done, and to a company that is basically bankrupt! No amount of financial mumbo-jumbo can hide the fact that yet again Kenyans have been taken for a ride.

Similarly, the racket he has been making around his “gift” of a Pajero to the new Catholic Archbishop of Kisumu shows a person with lots of worries. A big part of Mr Ruto’s problems is that only when questions does he then offer explanations, which are sadly wishy-washy.
