It may be illegal for public officers, civil servants, and MPs to corrupt the public through harambees. If so, no one ever got the memo. Every day – and twice on Sundays – political mandarins traverse the breadth and width of Kenya littering millions of shillings in public rallies everywhere. This blatant show of corruption – done in broad daylight and without shame, or irony – is the grist of the mill of Kenyan politics.
The biggest culprits are those gunning for the presidency in 2022. Which begs the question – where do public servants whose salaries are known get all these gobs of money to bamboozle and bewilder hapless citizens? I know this – Kenya must banharambees for the anti-corruption fight to succeed.
