    "content": "There is also bribery in the education sector. Lecturers are not very keen on looking at examination scripts. So, we end up with pseudo academicians. This has very serious effects on education. There is also a problem in the transport sector. Some of the accidents that happen on our roads every day happen because traffic police officers do not enforce compliance to traffic rules. In the long run, you find that big vehicles are overloaded and matatus carry excess passengers. The result is suffering and deaths on our roads. We want to say “no” to corruption. The 9th, 10th and 11th Parliaments have passed many laws, but what is lacking in this country is enforcement. The corruption menace, which has turned out to be a cancer of some sort, has taken this country to ransom. Countries which were at one point at the same level of economic growth with Kenya in terms of GDP and per capita income, have since overtaken us because of corruption. Previously, we passed laws which provided for blacklisting of companies which engage in corruption. We now need to go beyond such remedies. We need to look at the directors of companies because companies do not engage in corruption, but directors do."
