United States President Joe Biden, once said, "Corruption is a cancer, a cancer that eats away at a citizen's faith in democracy..."
How can we have faith in democracy if cartels have formed a corrupt 'brotherhood' to protect one another? There is enough evidence that the 'brotherhood' makes it hard for anti-corruption agencies to fight the menace in Kenya.
Corruption 'brotherhood', I can say, involves protecting allies and associates from being held accountable for theft, mismanagement and plunder of public resources. The reason corruption is rampant in our country is not because of a lack of functional structures.
