It's difficult to fight corruption amidst political 'wash wash'

Mid this month, President William Ruto launched what is seen as his biggest onslaught against corruption.

He sent home all the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) board members amid fresh allegations of corruption in the agency. Before the 2022 elections when President Uhuru Kenyatta was in power, most of Dr Ruto's aides were flung into courts on corruption allegations - something that never happened when they were loyal to him.

The charges were visibly activated when Dr Ruto supposedly defied his boss and many politicians stuck with him. Most pundits saw this as a sweeping case study for weaponised fight against corruption.
