Corruption blame game
Kenyans love blame games.
As much as anyone would love to blame the current government of Kenya, the much called Jubilee government for the corruption that has been on everyone's mouth of how the government has and is unable to deal with it, the defeat is in us.
It would be great and wise to remind you that corruption is in anyone's mind as a shortcut to anything. We bribe for love, for favours, for jobs, for ease of the route to justice and the list goes on. It is for that reason that we should start the fight against this vice from within ourselves.
Let us change the perception that it is only rotten when it is your friend doing it and is good and holy when it is you in the centre of it.
When a matatu operator is found by the hand of law enforcement, having flouted traffic rules, they find it as necessary to bribe the officer as a sure and quicker way to excuse them from the "long, expensive and time wasting" route of and to justice.
One argues that it makes an economic sense to part with Ksh. 500 and go back to normal business rather than going through the court processes which are perceived to take "all the time" one has.
Corruption has become a part or a culture in itself and it is only us who can change that for the sake of our future generations.
The coming generation will only know best that which we will teach the current young generation and they will teach them, those that will come.
The Bible expects us to teach our children good morals so that when they grow up they will not depart from them.
