The President, his deputy and the government of Kenya claim to be fighting corruption. We have seen high profile arrests and arraignments but sill no convictions. Is this effort genuine?
Fee Atieno
No. We will know it is genuine when money and assets of high profile corrupt people are seized, and if they actually end up in prison for more than just the weekend…
Wanjeri Thea
Money and Assets are seized many times but the perpetrators are still roaming free. Don’t seize the assets, seize the corrupt thieves.
I am not sure if there is a true fighting of thi s biggest enemy in Africa Kenya specifically,
One might be cought as a corruption dealers but may be behind the seen he might not be so, just hatredness among the politician.
And especially this has to be clear, if really the government need to fight corruption it has to establish a Free and fair Body/bureau which is separate from either the political body, Judicial body or any other. Because in this process no one is safe , even the one whom we see is fighting to overcome it might be the forerunners na pioneers of it.
So in Africa still there is no a genuine fight of Corruption though at least there is awareness that Corruption is an enemy of devlp. among our communities.
Thanks

The fight against corruption can neither be genuine nor real. Let me explain why: You see, corruption is not a person or a thing that can be put aside. It is also not confined to the legal and moral standards of the country. It is a personal decision made by individuals each minute from the government to our homes.
It is even more complex than this it is just that the corrupt politicians are more visible and accountable to a larger group of people. What cause corruption? What makes you want to steal from the vulnerable? This goes deeper into the way we were brought up the the values instilled from our churches and schools.
Also, there’s no yes and no because we can never get rid of such a monster. Human beings are selfish in nature and will always put their interests first. All we can do is reduce the rate of corruption and protect the most vulnerable from it all.

What we have in Kenya are side shows. The fight against corruption has been ‘weaponized’ to an instrument of political gain. If you support the government and you are corrupt then you aren’t hunted down. The moment you speak against the government, you are hunted day and night.
Also, number 2 in this country is one of the most corrupt people in this country. But what does the president do? Sit and watch. On the other hand, ‘La Familia’ has turned the government into their own machinery to enrich themselves. Setting the engines rolling towards State Capture. There is no serious fight against corruption. Just a fight to destroy the competition in business using government machinery.

They claim that manufacturing is part of the Big Four Agenda but they are shutting down factories daily.

State Capture: On Kenya’s Inability to Fight Corruption
Interview
Since the launch of Transparency International (TI)’s Corruption Perceptions Index in 1995, Kenya has invariably foundered in the bottom third of the countries surveyed. TI-Kenya’s Bribery Index reports widespread bribery; some institutions, including the police, land registries and county licensing services are notoriously predatory. In Kenya, and globally, corruption undermines the state by weakening public institutions, eroding both their effectiveness and their resilience. In addition, and more insidiously, it corrodes the social norms and values that hold communities together, deepens inequalities and drives conflict.
