Even as we try to minimize corruption there should also be clear guidelines on how those who are successfully corrupt should spend the money. When they have finally been caught if they prove that they followed the guidelines then their sentence should be reduced by 50%. If they have grossly violated the guidelines then their sentences should be increased by 50%.
I would propose that the guidelines should seek to distribute the embezzled funds to stimulate economic growth.
So here is my list of acceptable ways of spending money:
Spending money on a mistress who is a single mother.
Paying school fees in local schools.
Building houses that employ local materials and local labor.
Drinking and buying large quantities of locally made alcoholic beverages for friends.
Having large home coming parties and buying animals to be feasted on.
Unacceptable spending includes:
Saving the money in any form (All corruption money should be spent)
Stashing money away in foreign accounts.
Buying anything foreign made, should it be a car or clothes or even cologne.
Buying land
Educating children in foreign universities.
Foreign travel
So in the old case of the Governor of Migori who allegedly spent 1.2 million shillings to buy a bed, should it be determined that the bed was imported he should be judged very harshly but if he employed 20 Migori fundis to make him a luxurious bed embedded with Migori gold and using Hyacinth and fine wood grown in Migori he should not be harassed much.
Please add to the list or start throwing stones as you wish.
So you hold the view that economy can thrive even when there’s rampant corruption? Is that why Baks turned an almost deaf ear to corruption and economy still thrived?
As for me, make no mistake; I can’t stand a corrupt person. I hold the view that corruption is evil and must be eliminated ...progressively
