Fighting graft is every Kenyan’s business

NAIROBI: The war against corruption cannot be the Government's alone. It cannot be partisan. It is a war that must be zealously fought by both the ruling and opposition coalitions. When it comes to the war to protect our taxes from enriching a few individuals over the many, we cannot be CORD or Jubilee. We must be Kenyans.

It is a fight that cannot be carried out at the national level alone – we have to deal with county governments and private entities as well. I say we must also deal with private entities because for every major corruption scandal in Kenya, there is a private entity executing the corrupt deal. In fact, I would dare say the private sector is as corrupt, if not more, than the government.
