"content": "The climax of the address was on fighting corruption. Corruption in Kenya has become worse than HIV/AIDS. We do not have many resources. Kenya suffers because of external debt as we do not go to the specific priorities. We are instead financing individuals’ pockets as Kenyans continue suffering and borrowing. Therefore, we all support the President in fighting corruption. But Kenyans must ask themselves who is really corrupt. When we critically analyse the situation, most people are suspected to be corrupt, but even those who are pointing fingers at those they perceive to be corrupt are the worst. It is only that they have not been discovered. We need to critically analyse our own character before we point our fingers at the rest. Let me give the analogy from the Bible where a woman was brought before Jesus and accused of sinning. Before Jesus did anything, he told her accusers that if they had never sinned then they could stone her. None of them did that. The same behaviour applies to corruption in this country. Before we point our fingers at any individual, we should look at ourselves to see whether we are candidates of corruption or victims."
