Before kaigangio answers you,tell me just one thing,if our leaders are to blame,and we are all clean,where do we get our leaders - the ones we elect - from? they dont come from Uganda or Tanzania,or the most corrupt country in the world. they come from among us. They are from our societies. societies that have moulded them to be who they are. if this is the fact,which i believe it is,dont you then think that we are really the problem,as a people? When a society looses hold of the morals,what moral authority do we have to point fingers at the other person? You grab land,and offer to help your friends to get some land illegally,and they accept the offer,do you really think they will be able to tell YOU,or their own children that grabbing land or anything else that does not belong to them,is bad? Who whacked the people in Naivasha? and who burnt the ones in Kiambaa? and shot that guy in Kisumu? any politician? They paid INNOCENT kenyans to do it - i can hear the scream - but,dont we have a mind of our own,to know what is good or bad?
@Magigi,it starts very easily,lets say,do you know anyone who has bribed a policeman to get away with a traffic offence? Or gotten someone out of custody by paying KK? (i know one - so very well),do you know someone who has cheated at the land's registry so as to pay less duty,or KRA? Did it really look that bad? So,if we are stealing small time from the government,what if we were given a chance to be in charge of the coffers(sp)? Would we be trusted not to use 'scratch my back i scratch yours' theory?
@Magigi,Me,you,us have our fair share of failures and cant escape the blame. the only reason we feel and look clean is because we have a scapegoat... the politicians!
Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.
