Corruption is sinking Kenya's ship
Joyce Mulama

The diplomatic community in Kenya has coined a new phrase to describe the country's new political leadership for its inability to fight corruption.

The diplomats describe Kenya as "a new boat sailing without a functional captain".

The captain, President Mwai Kibaki, whom the diplomats refer to, came to office 18 months ago, promising electorates zero tolerance against corruption. Instead, a new culture of get-rich-quickly, embraced by his cohorts, is setting new records.
