It is super interesting that over the last few weeks the attention in Kenyan politics has shifted away from "open the servers" and "maandamano" to an age-old favorite political discussion in Kenya which is corruption.
Now we have been discussing corruption for decades. Note we have been discussing but doing very little against it or making any serious attempts to stop it. We even have a government agency - The Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) - which is designed to fight corruption. But nothing is changing and nothing has changed. Indeed corruption is getting worse and I believe we're all very aware that corruption is not limited to any side of the political divide it cuts right across and in a minute I will give you very clear evidence proving this because a lot of youngsters out there are very easy to fool with the terse statements from the government promising to fight corruption.
Like the latest one from head of the public service Felix Koskei. I saw a statement reproduced in one of our local newspapers one of our local dailies that just made me laugh. Now I know this is a very serious issue but I just had to laugh. Why did I laugh? Because in the very strongly worded statement also included a photograph of Kosgei, looking very serious serious, like he wants to fight corruption physically.
This Koskei statement is being released in a scenario where recently we have been told there are quite a number of people close to the William Samuel Ruto government who before the elections were living in Syokimau which is in the outcast of Nairobi close to a place called Athi river. Houses in this place are cheap there's been a lot of Chinese construction. Indeed in the year 2015-2016 there were actually bed sitters for sale for under a million Kenya shillings in this area.
And so after Ruto came into power the same cabinet secretaries are purchasing homes in Karen. Now financially speaking it is a very long way from Syokimau to Karen. It is like Nairobi to London. It is a very long way... a long leap
