Cabinet Secretary for tourism and wildlife Najib Balala home raid over claims of 100million corruption allegations is sign that shows that the body mandated to fight corruption has advanced.
In the past the war against corruption used to target the people with low ranks in government and middle income earners. Investigation into an allegation whether Balala single sourcingly awarded a local company a contract during an expo at Nairobi Proves that fight against corruption has changed gear.
President Uhuru promise that none will be spared in the war against graft has been actualized bearing in mind that Balala was among the people that ensured that he clinched the presidential seat.
Corruption has robbed our nation development since projects have been marred by embezzlement of funds and illegal awarding of contracts.
It is devastating to see on how most roads get damaged immediately after being constructed , the poor quality of bridges and hiring of unqualified personnel is worring.
Uhuru's vision of creating millions of jobs faced a major blow due to embezzled youth funds by the Youth enterprise development Fund last year and the famous national youth service Saga where 9 billion was lost.
Without strong Watchdog institutions, impunity becomes the very foundation upon which systems of corruption are built and if impunity is not demolished all efforts to fight corruption are in vain.
When corruption cases are unearthened the suspected individuals are quick to offer threats to anti corruption body leaders thus the body should be protected and empowered to enable them perform their role without favor or fear.
Whenever in any society some individuals feel that they are above the law this results to social disorder where people break the law without fearing the consequences that may come out of it.
The war against corruption should be intensified equaly among all people in the society regardless of their social status and political influence for us to attain development.
