If the market starts back up again expect the momentum to prosecute the culprits to wane.

It always amazes me how every problem in Kenya comes back to the constitution.

If you don't know, corruption did not start in Kenya with the new constitution. It thrived and became a household item with the old.

Those with parents in the civil service will tell you that their parents never went to work and hang coats there instead. To go do their mbiachara of selling coffee stolen in Uganda.

The issue of Women Reps and MCA's has nothing to do with the constitution. The constitution allows you to vote for whom you want.

I dare say that most voters vote for thieves. That has nothing to do with the constitution.

I'd rather entertain the idea that Kenyans equate a Prado to going to heaven.

The mtu wetu syndrome is like a study in idiocy. But you wake up and vote for mtu yetu. Now look at all those farmers in North Rift.

Mnataka constitution pia ikuje ikuvotie?

Let's change the thesis. It should be there's corruption because Kenyans are more inclined to vote in a thief than someone who can help them.

The reason there's this much corruption in Kenya is because we celebrate thieves. Even churches invite these thieves as guests of honour to build God's houses with blood money.
You tell me how a young lad in the village will not aspire to be a thief when he sees all the respect and honour being bestored on these crooks in churches, schools and home where he/she is the apple of the parents' eye for building them a stone house unlike the neighbor's useless son who lives in a mabati house on their compound and a mere deacon in the village church. We're just a sick pretentious society.

Alma, @2012, if most Kenyans are socialized in the same way in terms of cultural values, how is it possible that when it comes to voting then the majority will vote for a thief?

The only reason is that that is the best strategy. Mtu wetu is the dominant strategy because the way our political system is designed requires such thinking!

Kenya was created with an emphasis on a certain region. Therefore politics is bound to be regional. Because of how the effects of land abrogation for example would be felt.

Each high ranking thief, is a beloved Robin Hood in their back yards.

The anti-corruption problem is also and primarily a mathematical problem that systems will adjust to intuitively.

So the bodies charged with this job don't have qualified personnel and their job descriptions are ill defined.

No wonder there's so little that can be gained!
