A great example of the self-inflicted wounds damaging African countries. A World Bank report estimates that corruption in Kenya adds nearly $3 billion, or the equivalent of 2% GDP, to Kenya's fiscal deficit every single year.
"Kenya's economy could be more than 20 times larger by 2035 if it introduced the sort of anti-corruption reforms seen in countries like Ghana and Senegal, and add 7.7 million more and better jobs."
Linda Mwanainchi super MC Moses Ouma Djembah alias Mr WWW has today led the LMM delegation from Butula Sub County, Busia County. Our MC is doing a good job marketing our party. Some bigwig influencers within the party are waiting to write silly press statements .
Vincent Sidai, the Linda Mwanainchi gubernatorial aspirant for Busia, is making advances deep into inaccessible areas like forests to meet with people. Politics is all about strategy and interacting with people.

The World Bank says the intensity of corruption in Kenya, private gain from public office and weak rule of law point to a systemic problem driven by competitive clientelism.

All people of goodwill and supporters of democracy across the world are relieved to see the trumped up treason charges against Comrade Tundu Lissu collapse, following his acquittal today.
These charges should never have been brought in the first place. Lissu’s only crime was to call for basic reforms to the electoral architecture in Tanzania to guarantee a fair process. He has lost over two years of his life in custody as he fought off the charges.
We encourage Ndugu Lissu, the CHADEMA Party and all our Tanzanian brothers to take heart and remain strong in their pursuit of justice and freedom, in the knowledge that all forces of regression are usually ultimately defeated.
