corruption IN KENYA
Corruption is essentially termed as an "impairment of integrity, virtue or moral principle; depravity, decay, and/or an inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means, a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct, and/or an agency or influence that corrupts."[1]
Corruption, when applied as a technical term, is a general concept describing any organized, interdependent system in which part of the system is either not performing duties it was originally intended to, or performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the system's original purpose.
I am sure all of us Kenyans and Africans have come across individuals who fit the above criteria
Corruption in Kenya is so institutionalized that the world Bank estimates that it is a crisis beyond a crisis...It,S THE GREATEST SINGLE threat to development and the fight against poverty any where in Africa. (In my opinion it,s worse than AIDS and Malaria) It,s not imminent threat but it is real and existing.
Law enforcement ,judicial and other legal avenues have failed, I have yet to see to a serious conviction by the anti corruption body..This leads to widespread poverty,Gross failure of public institutions and the finally ultimate, the lack of confidence in Government and social chaos, The present coalition government has yet to come with a plan to control, or abate the problem...We lack a RICO law (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly referred to as RICO Act or RICO in the US.
Does Kenya need a Rico Law, Yes we do, This should include mandatory ethical training for all public officials..Law enforcement,procurement,contractual,Legal and judicial and parliamentary and other key institutions.
No stone should be left unturned , ...To be continued?.
I a apologize to all my readers for the unfortunate delays. But we do need to to seriously address the day forward and future our country Kenya, While corruption is the red herring,
What do we need to do as citizens and people who love the country. ?
It,s all about change in thinking, behavior and practice. l am inviting all KENYANS to contribute their ideas on the way forward,
We need to question our future social , Political and economic well being,
A Kenyan friend as i write has a problem obtaining ( import) Letter of credit financing to import Kenyan tea into the US....Quote "Credibility,Transparency and potential fraud" Letter from a major US Bank/////What do we need to to do? ,I am inviting everybody to comment . Usiogope To be continued.......

Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S
"that mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar. Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces...".
What is amazing is that he is getting attention from the Mainstream Russian media , This guy is just not another pundit.He is a professional analyst, though suspiciously with a background from the K.G.B and it,s successor the F.S.B...I,M very skeptical my self..My take is that i will not happen.

What does an Obama v?ctory mean for Kenya Africa and the World
If Americans can throw out conventional thinking and a complete paradigm shift of seismic proportions and elect a black Man with a foreign sounding name, Ignore years of racial acrimony differences, stereotypes, Then we Africans have a lot to learn in regard to democracy ,tolerance and peaceful co existence.
l have just come to learn that true leaders are not made, but are indeed Born.You can have all the experience and the political pedigree , But at the end you cannot deliver no matter what, Certain men exude a certain confidence ,integrity and the ability to lead and inspire Hope among there respective constituency's, a good example are a well known cast of characters....
Winston Churchill , the WW 2 , British prime Minister who inspired hope, among Britons amid hopelessness and potential defeat by the Nazis, Ronald Reagan who won the cold war without firing a single missile, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King jnr who fought for civil rights and inspired American Blacks with his leadership.... Nelson Mandela who emerged from jail and united a racially divided south Africa after years of apartheid, our own Tom Mboya who inspired countless African trade unionist, and young politicians to fight the yoke of colonialism and exploitation only to fall to an assassins bullet...and now Obama.
Obama now has that rare chance to prove he can lead and inspire a whole generation of young people for a better and brighter future.
For us in Africa, It,s time to focus on the fight against well known suspects..Poverty ignorance and disease ,tribalism, racism and corruption not necessarily in that order.
We need to invite and initiate open discussion and debate about the road ahead , Invite the well known unwanted guest called DEMOCRACY and give him a chance, to prevail /build enviable institutions, and governments elected by the ballot not the bullet.
It's a bout time to change the status quo and give our children and people hope for the future.
