Parliament should lead way in uprooting endemic corruption

The reported mega corruption in the government early this week was not just the routine work of media digging out a story to run. This time, the government admitted that Nyayo House where Immigration and other government services are delivered, the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) visa issuance and luggage clearance processes, the Sports scandal linked with the Ministry's top honchos, among other institutions, are rotten to the core.

Remember the Covid-19 millionaires? The Kemsa scandals? The poisoned sugar scandals? The list is endless. In fact, corruption has become normalised to the extent that we really do not get upset as a country that some individuals are milking citizens dry.
