KENYAN CORRUPTION OVER THE YEARS

1)Kenya's founding father: Excelled at mortgaging Kenya to foreign interests...and divided a huge chunk of Kenya's land amongst his familiy and Colonial homeguards.


2) Kenya's second President: Widely reviled foreign meddling, but nevertheless presided over widespread corruption and human Rights abuse. Cut the favourite western stereotype of "Africa's big men"




3)Kenya's third president populary elected in 2002. He sees no evil, hears no evil. Under his 3 year reign, an estimated 700 million dollars has been stolen by a few in his ruling clique. He cracked the whip when it was exposed by Kenyan Newspapers. We are waiting to see whether he will reclaim Kenyans credibilty and hope in his leadership




BE WARY OF THE HYENAS WAITING ON THE PERIPHERY........


Our leaders have done it done it again. They have effectively cheated ,wheedled and cajoled their way into untold millions of pounds by raping our resources in cahoorts with faceless foreign companies . However while prosecution is ongoing on the biggest scandals(Anglo-leasing & Goldenberg), i would caution against the process of purifying or giving any iota of credibility to yesterdays looters who are in opposition now and making the loudest noises .They are akin to the hyena who scavenges when the predator leaves .The Moi era was mired in corruption and waste. The image of KANU to me is one of the ruthless, Compunctionless savannah cockerel that Kenyans knew as their daily reality for over two decades. KANU must be cackling hoarsely at how gullible Kenyans are if we so readily equate the present thievery with the more widespread corruption and human rights violations under the MOI regime

My two cents for today
