Kenya: President yet to crack the whip

Despite its oft-stated commitment to the fight against corruption, the Kibaki administration has been rocked by scandals in which Sh20 billion of tax money was at risk of being misused. None of the culprits in the scandals have been dealt with and the feeling across the country is that someone in very high levels of Government is protecting them. And amid this, President Kibaki has been accused of doing little, save for the occasional public pronouncement on zero tolerance to corruption.
