In Summary
- In this first segment in the serialisation of It’s Our Turn to Eat: The story of a Kenyan Whistleblower, author MICHELA WRONG, relates how minister Amos Kimunya and Dr Dan Gikonyo went to UK to talk to Githongo
On 7 December 2005, Kibaki named his new government. With the sole exception of Chris Murungaru, all the key ministers associated with Anglo Leasing were reappointed to Cabinet.
There had been no attempt to heal the wounds opened by the referendum or to distance himself from his administration’s biggest scandal.
Instead, those who had led the Orange campaign, including Raila Odinga, were summarily ejected.

So here we are again at a familiar spot over what happened yesterday. Ruto was not castigated because of his corruption instead he was defended. When it is Kimunya or Murungaru the whole country lynches them but when it is Ruto he is being fought politically

corruption is evil worse than a weakness it is the cause of rebels and military governments which end up killing and wounding innocent civillians.Corrupt leaders sip the sweat and blood of poor people till they have nothing to eat.People die without ever knowing why.like mugabes people,congo,etc.Kenya should overcom corruption before it explodes beyond limit.like somalia

Are we losing the fight against graft as others claim it is time to eat or is there no political will to fight graft . was anglo -leasing just a figment of Githongo fertile imagination .This are questions for Ringera and Co .And was there no money lost since it was all paid back we should let by-gones be By-gones .

just some advice to (yesuwangu) it is not corruption that has sunk africa, it is the west stiring us up against each other and looting our continent through our own arms. which industry in somalia produses Arms? which factory in congo refines precious stones? who owned 80% of zimbabwe before mugabe intervened. please do your homework before you comment.
