Article-Summary: 

The Kenyan body politic is so severely affected by bribery and corruption that it is not realistic to expect it to ever recover without the application of drastic remedies. You can hardly find a public official on whom two people agree is clean. Everyone in public life is expected to be corrupt. Everything that anyone has got is seen as corruptly acquired. Public figures are believed to be corrupt and those who have property are thought to have acquired it corruptly.
