If MY MONEY is used to pay teachers, doctors, nurses, build roads schools, ensure Kenyans don't die of preventable diseases, all Kenyans have clean water, food to eat, opportunities to make a living etc. with zero corruption, no inflated bills, no substandard work, no inflated salaries for useless public officials and elected clowns etc. I'd paying taxes with one huge smile on my face! But when I pay taxes and some clowns start awarding themselves obscene salaries relative to their input and I read about corruption every day, It doesn't sit well with me! That can only happen in a perfect world which is non existant It happens my friend! Open your eyes. And read. If you perpetually stick to Citizen TV and KBC then you might tend to think it is not possible. Of course corruption is not an absolute zero but it is negligible. In some countries less than 2% of public money gets lost in corruption. And if for that someone has to be punished! For your homework today, study the fiscal discipline in Germany, Canada and Netherlands. Then tomorrow I'll give you another three countries!  Ati you're asking me to read? Lolest , I am not able to watch KBC because am not physically in Kenya tho I watch Citizen once in a while online anyway... I dont deny that the so said countries have little corruption indices but the reality is their taxes are also "wasted" as you've put it in many other ways....Read the Canadian Senate Expense scandal..the German govt has been blamed for being too lax in fighting corruption. Why do you think there are too many money problems in Europe? Govt spending. The only places in the world where govt almost spends in the right way is in the Scandinavian/nordic countries and that is largely due to their culture...(feminism). Just find out how much they are taxed
