IS OUR ETHICS AND ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMISSION STIL A LIVE?

Corruption is something we talk about,it is something we complain about,it is something whose negative impact we recognize,it is something that even the corrupt acknowledge as a bad thing but the irony and tragedy at once is that those who engage in it love it,those who do not engage in it directly accommodate it.Our level of tolerance for corruption in Kenya and indeed Africa is amazing.A long time a go,a great Greek philosopher said that it is in the nature of man to hang a small thief and to elect greater ones into public office.We do that in Kenya,Uganda,Nigeria and indeed other countries in Africa.

When the Rtd. ARCHBISHOP DR. ELIUD WABUKALA was appointed in January 2017 to head the commission,Kenyans had high hopes on him especially after he gave a successful leadership at all the Anglican Churches of Kenya.He has already taken 135days in the office since his appointment but him and his fellow commissioners have done totally nothing in that office and that does not imply that no corruption is taking place.I don't want to start believing that him as the Chair and his fellow commissioners are just there to earn huge salaries and wait for their term to expire.Kenyans want to feel their presence through action.

It is very difficult for the anti-corruption crusaders  to complete their full term in office and if they do,it is because they refused to fight corruption during their time.Immediate former EACC Mumo Matemo,his predecessor Prof.P.L.O Lumumba and the founding head of the institution John Harun Mwau all have one thing in common;they were fighting corruption and because of that,they were hounded out of the office at different times before their terms were over.The trio were out to fight corruption but from the look of things,it seems that the current EACC leadership is under stun instructions from the executive that they should not fight corruption but appear to be fighting corruption

The other day,a lot of money were lost at the Ministry of Health which led to the withdrawal of 2Billion donor funds by the US government and many more corruption and unethical activities perpetrated by the government top brass

Wabukala should know that Integrity center is not a church where you sing,pray and wait for God's devine intervention.It's time for serious work!!
Immediate former EACC chair Mumo Matemu, his predecessor PLO Lumumba and the founding head of the institution John Harun Mwau say the fight against corruption has assumed a decidedly circus pattern which has no end on sight. Their reasons as to why Kenya has not moved an inch are however different. All the three were hounded out of office at different times before their terms were over.

WHY ONLY POOR PEOPLE WIN LOTTERY JACKPOTS IN KENYA

By now you must have noticed that a majority of those ‘lucky winners’ in major, jaw-dropping jackpots in lotteries are from humble backgrounds. Samuel Abisai, winner of the SportPesa Sh221 million worked with a Chinese firm and lived in Nairobi’s Roysambu area off the Thika Superhighway. But if lottery is a game of chance, then anyone from any socio-economic background should stand a chance of winning. So, how come there are never jackpot winners from upscale areas such as Karen,Lavington, Runda, Kitisuru or Muthaiga?! Social scientists agree that there is an inverse relationship between socio-economic status and betting. Low-income earners spend a larger share of their incomes on lottery tickets than those with higher incomes. Demand for lottery tickets correlates not only with the level of income, but also with a general lower socio-economic status as measured by low education level, employment status and minority status of one’s ethnic community. Although it is well establi...

WHY LUO COMMUNITY IN KENYA REMAINS POOR DESPITE HIGHLY EDUCATED

My country Kenya has has a total of 43 tribes but majority of them have several sub tribes.Surprisingly,5 tribes make up to 70% of the entire Kenyan population. The Kikuyu community is the biggest tribe,which represent 22% of the entire population of 51,987,331 as at 30th April 2019 (estimates)followed by Luhya,Luo,Kalenjin,Kamba and Kisii respectively. Why then is Luo nation remains among the poorest communities despite being the HIGHLY educated lot in Kenya  Ideally,Luos should be ranked among the wealthiest tribe in Kenya ,but there are basic things they do that negate the short term gains they may have achieved. Ego The fist thing that hampers development among the Luo is ego.The most affected are Doctors,Engineers and Professors,who believe that without education,one cannot undertake what is perceived to belong to the average population.It is actually very hard to convince a Luo holding a Phd to sell second hand cloths in Muthurwa,or sell Mutura etc. Few Luos have nev...

THE CASE FOR SAYING NO!!

Saying yes to something you don’t want to do prioritizes being polite over being genuine, argues uniquely HR CEO Mikaela Kiner — and all those extra yeses will cost you. Saying no isn’t easy, but it’s essential. To get started, Kiner suggests you start with a simple question: “If I don’t do this, will it matter in three weeks, three months, three years from now?” Putting requests in context can help you determine what’s actually critical.
