Corruption in Kenya: How You the Corrupt Damage Society

Corruption in Kenya is more rampant today than it has ever been. If Kenya were a sea, then it would be impassable due to the huge icebergs of corruption and corrupt government officials floating by. We ask the question, what does corruption mean for the average Kenyan citizen, and how does the corrupt elite, politicians, and government officials damage society?

Elections

Corruption starts by propelling underserving and unqualified individuals into government offices. These individuals are mostly those who themselves have been part of the system or are related to someone prominent within.

They discover that holding a government office in Kenya is tantamount to having access to public coffers and decide that they must invest most of what they have to ensure they get elected. After all, once they are in office, they will embezzle more than enough public funds to recoup their initial ‘investment’.
