Even these recommendations would fall under PR. If you look at Kenya's history, it's probable that you'll realize that corruption is a necessity to our politics. Only now we have more corrupt players for example due to devolution.

Expecting zero corruption would be political and psychological naiveté, what's the optimal corruption needed? Corruption by as few people as possible who hold the greatest power.

I'm certain that what the President really means and what Wanjiku would want him to mean are two very different things!

The optimum is to allow bribes to secure lucrative contracts and for skimming off the top as work is being done. But the completely phantom tenders where no work is done but money is paid out are the ones that should be clamped down on. That blatant fraud is where the economy suffers

What if we're looking at things wrong? Like Mutunga is expecting a world dominated by good, enlightenment. Is that reasonable? I think not. Man of all creatures, happens to be the least domesticated animal. So, if the jungle is too 'thick' and our institutions don't fit, why not work out how to survive given the reality on the ground?

'Bandit' may be a misnomer. It may be directing our thinking the wrong way. 'Survivor', preying on others and others preying on you, things happening to you and around you that you can't fully control. Weakness and strength experienced together.

You know every time I try to create order, the more I create disorder. The more I try to be good, the more I embrace evil. Evil, is good. Everything is good.

Think about this; the nation state, society is glued with violence, war and the monopoly of it. But most citizens are made to believe in non-violence, non criminal behavior. A few are taken and taught how to kill and are used to kill other humans. And these who know how to kill, and take by force, keep the order. Now what happens when the killers go out, and kill and kill? They get sick in the mind. We're in the kingdom of 'madness'. And that too, is good.

Corruption is good. We should embrace it. We should use it to advantage. Like getting compensation for a building on a road reserve. That's good! See how to eradicate corruption?

In other words, we're deluding ourselves in the current metaphors. Mutunga for example, isn't being as pro-change as he'd have us believe. @Kusadikika is trying to deal with cognitive dissonance by posting and hoping to affirm Mutunga's ideals, which happen to be the ideals we've grown up believing. Consequently many if not most of us languish as slaves. Like me! And that, too, is good.

Every act of mine, must be good. Must affirm reality. The world. That sense sense of responsibility is what we're escaping. Better to hide in feeling guilty and making others feel guilty and justify this guilt by blaming others, the system, history. In this regard, Cain must have been a very virtuous and good man. He couldn't be Abel's keeper. The homicide was justified. Why take to a vengeful God all the goodies? Why try to be good and avoid evil?

Optimal corruption, is corruption without regret, a sense of being guilty or in danger. When we pray or speak against corruption we're only fooling ourselves. And fooling others.

when will you ever understand that the president does not arrest, I am sure you are the same person who criticized the former president mo1 for arbitrary detentions. or you would want us to go back to a president who can order detention at will.
