Wrong has got it right

• Book by British author is an ironclad, tell-all story about corruption in Kenya
• There is much in the book to suggest that Githongo was perhaps more idealist than realist

This book is a live wire. The principal actors in it are still alive, and holding office. As such, It’s Our Turn to Eat is one of those books that influence the very flow of events they write about.

It will be illuminating for non-Kenyans. But it is an unforgiving, disturbing expose that will lacerate its Kenyan audience.
