Fighting Corruption - Kenyan Style
Feb. 23rd, 2005 09:10 amRecent reports suggest around half the Kenyan government budget (much of it, of course, foreign aid) is being raked off. The government's cunning plan for tackling this problem is as follows:
1. Drive Anti-Corruption Commissioner into exile.
2. Threaten to charge anybody leaking information about corruption with treason, a hanging offence.
3. Threaten to arrest the British High Commissioner for going public on the problem.
Next steps; probably do a Mugabe and create a diversion by seizing white owned farms.
Expect reports of mass starvation sometime in the next two to three years.

I have recommended to my project team that we should adopt this approach also.
