Do we really need a foreigner to tell us the obvious? Why don’t we see it?

"The gap widens a bit each day between the Government's stated policy of zero tolerance for corruption and its actual performance in removing from office corrupt officials.

"It widens because too many highly placed elected officials are allowed to pursue with impunity their money making enterprises – for the benefit of themselves, their kin and their clans – at the expense of Kenyan taxpayers and the Kenyan poor."

Ambassador William Bellamy US envoy to Kenya speech delivered during July 4th celebrations for American community in Kenya.


Yep, the guy probably reads this blog. He is of course absolutely right. Raphael Tuju’s remarks were predictable. His work is to speak for the government which like all other previous Kenyan governments, have had only one agenda (the US ambassador to Kenya said it, if you don’t want to believe it.)

If this culture is not corrected and corrected immediately, then there is no hope for Kenya. We need to start taking action now. You can by writing to the press and demanding that the wazees in power start correcting things where they went wrong.

Some of the people who murdered Tom Mboya are still free and walking the streets today. Mboya was killed because he was a threat to the land grabbing and corruption going on in Kenyatta’s State House. He stood for the people. And since then every person who has stood for the people has met a nasty end of sorts. Let us arise and change this before it is too late.

My dear fellow Kenyan, please start doing something today.
