Opinion: War on graft lacks fundamental commitment to integrity

This necessarily means that the names of the unknown tenderpreneurs and civil servants being exposed on a daily basis are not the engineers behind the looting.

Make no mistake: The ongoing looting scandals involving the National Youth Service, the National Cereals and Produce Board and the energy sector were as predictable and foreseeable as night follows day! We may not have been able to pinpoint the departments that would lead the looting, but there was no doubt that there was bound to be serious looting.

The NYS was always a likely target as would be any organisation whose budget rose by more than ten times in a short while. There is simply no way to move from a Sh2.5 billion budget to Sh25 billion and expect it to be absorbed in a legal and efficient manner!
