The Standard e-Paper
Informed Minds Prefer The Standard
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
One of the questions in the minds of Kenyans is whether the so-called broad-based duo of President William Ruto and Raila Odinga bit too much than they can chew during their joint Parliamentary Caucus at State House this week. This is in relation to the problem of alleged corruption among MPs, the constitutional proposals to entrench funds for legislators in the Constitution and the oversight role of the Senate over county funds.
On the face of it, the two top political leaders raised legitimate questions that we all know about, but that no one dares to talk about. For any Kenyan of reasonable character, they already understand that Parliament and the county assemblies are and have been houses of cards for a long while. The other two arms of government, the Executive and Judiciary are equally as corrupt if not worse. The fact that we are a stinkingly corrupt society is one reality that we cannot run away from.
