We Will Win the War on Corruption, President Kenyatta Declares

Declarations upon declarations. You are the only one believing this Uhuru. When assets worth trillions are recovered,then we shall start talking. Until then, continue recovering the crumbs and bragging about it.

He doesn't mean Kenyans. He is talking about his relathieves. They will win the war on corruption. He gas no shame telling the suffering Kenyans that. "Mnataka nifanye nini". Pombe tu while everyone around is looting the country.

Mr. President, talk is cheap. Kenyans are tired of your lullaby on corruption and need action now. How are you going to stamp out corruption without bringing in new strategies and mechanisms that will work this time around? Saying that government will use all available means to fight the vice is completely meaningless unless you also explain why these government means haven't worked yet or why such means were not available before-if they were not. Truth is, over 50 percent of our people live between hand and mouth. No healthcare, no proper education and no clean water for most Kenyans. Amidst all these hardships are the thieving, looting corrupt elites who happen to be your friends, appointees and civil servants. Exotic vacations, high end vehicles, cocktails and all manner of extravaganza is how public stolen money is wasted! No, we need more: news stiffer sentences for corruption, immediate freezing the accounts of the so called big fish once apprehended and they should be banned from ever holding a public office in the country once convicted. All stolen money with penalty and interest should be taken from their estates. Whenever we think about these corrupt animals, we should always think about our starving children and their missed opportunities. Some of us grew up during Moi's thieving regime and a lot of money that could have helped us in health care and education was stolen in corruption- which is today the money Gideon Moi and others flash around today; riding private helicopters. We shouldn't allow what belongs to our children to end up becoming the estate of our leaders that they will pass on to their children.

In other news, the toothless dog barked once again today after which it wagged it's tail and scuttled away. More barking is expected in the next few months. With bated breath, Kenyans are waiting for increased barkings in the near future.

Figuratively speaking "Dua la kuku halimpati mwewe". This is loosely "A chicken's prayer doesn't affect a hawk". The corrupt are like the hawks and unless one day the chicken get to fly, the hawk will keep snatching the chicks for breakfast, lunch and supper! With these iterations of promises one can only hope that one day the chicken (read we the downtrodden) will fly and deliver justice to the hawk (read corrupt). I remember (in my childhood days) the frustration on the faces of our mothers when the hawks repeatedly snatched the chicks despite their howling, screams and rushing the hawk. Since the chicken cannot fly as yet, the option may be to cage the chicks, get a witch doctor or better still get village-smart boys armed with catapults to bring down these hawks. Otherwise ngonja ngonja huumiza matumbo and mwishowe we may be left a shell of ourselves like a broody hen with no chicks to raise!

Why then, Mr. President, haven't we seen 'real' thieves thrown into prison and their ill-gotten wealth repossessed and designated to a NEEDY project? I want to know where each recovered asset, sold off at Ksh.xxx went to....don't just tell me it was recovered.. lest it disappears like the Ngirichi money in a bank with computerized system. Or hype some arrest and they you investigators tells us NO EVIDENCE is found... WHO IS FOOLING WHO?
IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD for you, Mr. President.
