Mr Zuma is expected to win the presidential election in April.

Fight corruption

“Our Judiciary should be put in the dock for the pace at which cases of corruption are being handled,” he said.

Similarly, Justice, Constitutional Affairs and National Cohesion minister Martha Karua said: “We have the duty as a coalition to tackle this issue of corruption once and for all. We owe it to Kenyans to rid this cancer of corruption.”

She said that Office of the Prime Minister, which is in charge of supervision and coordination of Government ministries, should add value to governance.

“It should closely monitor scandals so that they are not unearthed when a lot of damage has been done,” she said.

    yalojiri, I cannot help but to agree with the fact that the whole system is falling to pieces. I cannot see a situation where it would have been any different with ODM in a single government. This are old merchandise re-branded and repacked in substance it is the same old product. Kenya need change,a totally new breed of politicians with new ideals not a change of face. May be by the next election we shall have learnt. However Kenyan never do. It is like a curse. Let hope the youth will change this round the next election.

    Our whole political system is the mother of all scandals. We don't have a government. We don't have a president. We don't have a prime minister. We never had. It's a SCANDAL!

    When MPs pay taxes, they will question how every last cent is spent. They must spend the maximum possible NOW to settle IDPs, or Kenyans will starve in 2010 as well.

    Kenya4Sale...lets just hang this sign on our country...assumming the sign itself is not stolen (can't be sure)...we should auction everything including the people, perhaps then we might have better luck with new 'owners'...On second thoughts maybe not, our local tycoons will just own us using their ill-gotten wealth...we are stuck...even 'spirited' attempts at satire bring no joy!
