Ethics and Anti-corruption Forum

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.
