Are you implicated in any corruption charges??? You must leave office immediately

Corruption and impunity are King in government of Kenya circles. Maize, Oil, Tanks & Guns, Grand Regency Hotel, Goldenberg, the phantom Ken Ren Fertiliser Factory, Anglo Leasing, Free Primary Education, the list goes on and the institutional rot is obvious. Today Parliament shall debate a report on the sale and purchase of Kenyan diplomatic mission property in 5 countries – alleged to be tainted by corruption and abuse of public trust.

That being the case, you probably will agree with me that Kenya is ripe for change. Charged citizens, MP's eager to please, Lumumba who's heading an institution who's reputation hungs in the balance and the two principles who dont seem to care about which political side of the divide you come from. Since we got our flag independence in 1963, I dont think there is any other time in our history when kenyans were as hopeful and as ready for change as they are now. The new constitution has a lot to do with is, but I also choose to think that Kenyans are genuinely fed up of being short changed. They might not have grasped how to get themselves out of this quagmire, but they definitely are ready to act if provided with possible alternatives.

One of the fundamental areas that need radicle change is public service. We seem to target the scam of the earth for the most demanding and sensitive positions. If today the cabinet were to be vetted, we probably would not have anyone left standing. Now we all know that the prospects of having all the cabinet fired or even investigated (in the spirit of the new constitution of course) is nirvana and will not happen in our lifetime. However, we have a robust and extremely outspoken new kid on the block by the name of PLO lumumba. This man might just deliver us to Can-an if we put enough pressure on him. Already as it is, he is extremely eager to perform but we all know that its only a matter of time before he is compromised. What kind of pressure am i talking about here? Kenyans must show that they are hungry for blood, blood of anyone who feels they can continue to govern this country with impunity. All lumumba's team has to do is point us in the right direction. If your name as much as appears on a corruption report, whether proven guilty or not, you MUST leave office. This issue of "innocent until proven guilty" does not apply to this corruption ridden government.

Now most of you will suggested that this kind of "none negotiable" approach will encourage witch hunts among government. True as this may be, I can confidently say that this is a risk kenyans should be willing to take. The idea of politicians hiding behind ethnic cocoons must end, and the only way to end it is for kenyans to start capitalizing on the opportunities presented by the new constitution. Ensuring that Ruto,Wetangula, Saitoti, Majiwa and all their brothers have been laid to rest politically is the only way.
