Yet, we are a smart people. We are ingenious people. We are a religious people. We are hard-working people. We are resilient people. Kenyan is a country of promise. How did we slide into such moral decadence?
May be, just may be all isn’t lost. Spokesperson of Uhuru administration who doubles up as Director for Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU), Mr. Manoa Esipisu; assured Kenyans that “the President is committed to a clean government and…advances his intention to act strongly against corruption.”
We are going to Uhuru administration by its word. However, corruption cannot be won by tough talk alone. Tough talk must be translated into tough action. Corrupt officials and citizens must be investigated and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
Perhaps, corrupt officials should be labeled economic terrorists. For that’s who they are. They have terrorized our country for far too long. They have demeaned us in the presence of the world and stolen our innocence.
Furthermore, proceeds from corrupt practices must be confiscated, reinstated to the public and be channeled into economic activities that can create employment opportunities, enhance health services, end poverty and empower education for Kenyans. Which begs the question: Can Uhuru become our messiah in the fight against corruption? Time will tell.
