Mr President, crack the whip on graft cartels to change narrative

Dear Mr President, Kenyans have their backs against the wall. They have been choked and strangled by forces they have no control over. Almost daily, they wake up to news of the latest looting and grabbing by people believed to be close to power. We, as your loyal citizens feel burdened by the brazen thievery going on in the country. Individuals, who seem untouchable, have stolen from our hospitals. They have stolen from our youth. They have stolen from our mothers. They have shamelessly stolen from the unborn.

Yet, they continue to walk the streets of our cities with smiles on their faces. They drive air-conditioned cars rolling down their windows only to have a peek at the latest upgrade of their fuel guzzlers ogling back at them through clear windows of vehicle showrooms. Mr President, millions of Kenyans elected you because they believed it when you said you would fight corruption. They believed it when you told them no one would be above the law. They believed you when you looked them in the eye during your first State of the Nation address and vowed to make Kenya corruption-free.
