STUDENTS LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE GUEST SPEAKER |
Yesterday the students of The Ethics and Integrity Club held
a long discussion forum over the negative effects of corruption and the
possible actions they can take to deal with the corruption menace. The venue
was opened officially by Justin Safari, the MUSO secretary general at 9 Am. Several
leaders of various clubs and capacities were in attendance discussing how well
students can help in the fight against corruption in society. Among them was Juma
Omondi, the MUSO chair who said “I want appreciate the efforts of the club in
calling for this forum. Corruption is a big problem in Kenya and it needs every
one of us to contribute in the fight. I will
organize for a similar forum in which every
MUSO leader whom we elected is going to
tell us their development agendas and also will ask the students to ask them any
question they may be having in regard to their performance.” David Musila,
Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission were the guest of honor who also asked the
students to vigilant over their government. He said “corruption is big elephant
in Kenya. The EACC cannot fight alone as the commission contains barely 300 commissioners.
These number is so small to guard the over 40 million Kenyans. We urge you
young people to join us in the fight against corruption. Lead by example and
whenever you see somebody taking corruption, please report to the nearest anti-corruption
offices.”
Corruption is big problem in Kenya. Over half of the government
budget goes to corruption; this money can be utilized well in projects that can
help the nation. Every citizen has a right to question and possibly report to
court any leader they find unfit because of poor public spending.
