Kibaki, Raila should not just issue tough warnings, they must act

Corruption has variously been referred to as a cancer slowly killing the Kenyan society. It has been considered an enemy that is slowly devouring national good. Economic, political and societal development is often seriously impeded by corruption.

For the above reasons, Kenyan leaders have always pledged to fight corruption. They have often used it as a pre-election pledge. Duped, and convinced by their apparent ‘honesty’ and commitment to eradication of graft, people have taken their word and voted them into power.
