The war on graft s escalating in Kenya. As the judiciary and the executive work hard to fight graft, it seems as if it may not end soon. However,the deputy president is at the centre of all this menace. As the investigations continue, the major question is how the deputy president is claimed to be the propeller of all this? The deputy president seems to push himself at the centre of corruption cases. For instance,on the arror Kimwarer dam saga the DP claimed that it was only 7 billion that was missing and not 21 billion as claimed. This statement alone makes people doubt the DP to be knowing where the embezzled dam money is.
Corruption is a blow to development in Kenya. With politicians talking about it everyday,it has become a national scourge. Conferences are held each day on how to fight corruption. However, it is too bad that amongst the attendants of these conferences are the corruption suspects. It is disheartening to hear that even the judiciary, which is supposed to handle corruption cases is involved in the vice. "Corruption is endemic in our country. It is there even in the judiciary. For us to succeed and reduce it, every Kenyan of goodwill has to say no to it" said Chief Justice David Maraga when talking about state of the judiciary. Despite the fact that Kenyans have to help in fighting corruption, the government has to put stern measures to curb this vice.
