Nowhere to hide for economic criminals

They say “you do the crime, you do the time.” That wasn’t always true here in Kenya. For decades, the criminal justice system had a cavalier attitude to holding criminals responsible for their actions. That is because historically, a lot of crime was taking place at the governmental level. Many criminals were not held accountable because they had power. But in a real democracy, power is in the hands of the people.

At the moment, media and news reports are making a whole lot of news about a few insignificant trends. There is too much focus on 2022 politics while not enough light is being shed on the important progress being made.
