Why the media needs more friends like Raila

Corruption can behave much like climate change. It spreads at a terrific speed, has ruthless outcomes and sparks endless blame games.

We’ve seen MPs lash out at President William Ruto for exposing their greed. For too long, most legislators have pocketed huge bribes to pass Bills or influence House committee decisions. It isn’t Dr Ruto alone worried. ODM leader Raila Odinga has condemned the rot in critical institutions, including the Judiciary. The former premier says media outlets aren’t blameless either. That journalists expose corruption only after being paid.
