Place of morality in the fight against corruption

For most Kenyans, the difference between big and small corruption is opportunity. In moments of rare honesty, a typical Kenyan will confess that given the opportunity, they would do it. They would use their positions to benefit themselves. They would inflate tender prices. They would ask for kickbacks.

They would financially benefit from the organisation they work for or do business with, beyond their actual remuneration.
