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.

Thats why I say kenyans just love gossip and hearsay, why on earth did we move away from a system where the president could order arbitrary arrests, why on earth did we move to create institutions independent of the president.
so now you want the president to order the arrest of the dp, if arap machozi grabbed land then the relevant institution should move to have him arrested, and yes its the police under the order of the ocpd that do the arresting, or kanjo ama the anti corruption guys.

or it just makes you feel good when you say the president is not arresting the bad guys, ohh wait, its your leader who told you that.

You mean to tell me the president cannot fire an official he appointed even when there is glaring evidence that said official is corrupt? And so what if he takes the president to court. If said official was fired with just cause, the courts will rule in the presidents favour.



I never said name people without evidence. Its not that difficult to gather evidence. The president has the ability to command his people to perform thorough investigations.

Its not the President's job to investigate corruption. So which people are these?



True about self interests. But that self interest starts at the very top with the president. As the leader of the Jubilee party he can propose legislation ask his MPs to vote for it. That is called leadership !
As Mutunga says, corruption goes to the very top. This means the president himself is either corrupt or is coddling corrupt politicians.

Mutunga knows very well who is corrupt...eg who sold to the judiciary the CJ's house Did you ask yourself why he refused to move in?



People like you just keep hiding behind the constitution. That is exactly what corruption is worse today than it ever was when Moi was president. Our president is not hamstrung. At the very least he should lead by example.
By the way when Uhuru was campaigning, he promised to effectively tackle corruption.
When Obama visited he promised Obama 10 steps he would take to tackle corruption

Yet corruption has gotten progressively worse. You now claim that Uhuru is helpless because of the constitution. Are you suggesting Uhuru is a liar?
Is he just going around lying to people that he can clamp down on corruption?

If Uhuru is hamstrung by the constitution as you claim then he should stop lying to Obama and to the public that he is capable of clamping down on corruption.
