    "content": "The second point was the issue of corruption. Corruption is a disease. Corruption kills. It takes money from people. It takes resources from our children, our health and our education and, therefore, it is a cancer that we must fight will all our strength. I like the fact that the President has not only identified it as a national problem but he is also ready using his powers and abilities to fight it. Kenya suffers in two ways when it comes to corruption. The first is our image. Everywhere you go in the world we have a bad name because there is a perception out there that we are a very corrupt country. When Kenya is mentioned, corruption is the next word that comes in. Second is the taking of essential resources for our national development particularly for a community that is heavily taxed that wants to know how that money is being spent. It is painful every day to read that resources have been wasted and that there are leakages and looting of public resources. So, corruption is eating into the fibre of our nation and society. Corruption poses security risk and threats to our stability."
