And if we are not moving forward, we must ask another question: Does it mean we are only claiming to fight corruption but going to bed with it in darkness and secretly? When Uhuru made one of his declarations against corruption, he said he was ready for a lifestyle audit. However hard we claim to fight graft, this war is dead and without such an audit. When there was a great national clamour to fight corruption during the Narc-Kibaki rule, Danson Mungatana, Kalembe Ndile, Kivutha Kibwana and Koigi wa Wamwere came forward to declare their wealth in an effort to do a self-lifestyle audit. Rather than master enough courage to fight corruption, Uhuru seems to be back-peddling and killing people’s hope that the dragon of corruption will ultimately be disabled and slain.
