We have engendered society by making graft part of who we are

The intrigues and shenanigans in Kenya never cease to amaze! For decades, Kenyans would feel secretly lucky that we were not Nigerians with their in-your-face corruption and looting. The last few years have changed that. Today, there are few countries as messy, convoluted, corrupt and seemingly intractable.

We should never imagine that the rest of the world is unaware of our status! Social media show us up every day, making it difficult to hold our heads high when we meet colleagues from other countries. For as soon as Kenya is mentioned, the litany of our shenanigans comes sprawling out.
