THE UGLY HEAD-CORRUPTION

Listening to Lieutenant General going on and on about how they are fighting corruption arises conflicting emotions in my being; hope and sadness. Sadness because that has been the never ending tale that they are going to step up on the war on corruption:-(((....and hope because there is an intention to bring order to an exercise that for a long time has been a goldmine to budding entrepreneurs with no conscience. Army recruitment for the longest time has been marred by undercover dealings!!Kudos to the Lieutenant General!! They are now going to involve the Anti Corruption Commission!!! I have met many people who have brushed away dreams of serving their country without fear or favor because they believe that you have to oil some hands to enable a smooth transition!! Where corruption is involved, the end does not justify the means... We should change our mindset as Kenyans, be more hopeful, dare to dream. Employ a Martin Luther mentality!! At least 2 out of 42people have been brought to book because of accepting bribes or posing as recruitment officials.That is a step in the right direction. We are quick to judge. Cross examine yourself. Do you knowingly or unknowingly perpetrate the injustice that in its basic essence is theft. Are you the guilty Kenyan who is ready to fork out a few notes, to buy your freedom?? Thus turning our police men to men driven by greed and not a strong desire to serve....?Food for thought! We are quick to pass judgment, however, this time reflect first...seek to remove the log in your own eye. Become a better citizen. Remember a small leak sinks a great ship!! Have an honest day will you?
