Kenya’s highest Civilian Awards under scrutiny

The country has been thrown into a spin following the publication of a controversial shortlist by a parliamentary committee of national heroes being considered for State awards. While the National Honours Act dictates that persons who exhibit exemplary qualities, actions of heroism, sacrifice, bravery, patriotism or leadership for the defence, benefit or betterment of the country or a county are to be conferred with the honours, the shortlist contains persons linked to corruption, abuse of office and criminal offences who have instead been preferred. Welcome to the 24/7 KTN Kenya News Channel on YouTube – Kenyans are questioning the credibility of the selection process after it emerged that some nominees for the country’s highest civilian awards have controversial pasts, including courtroom battles and unresolved corruption allegations. #KTNKenya #NewsChannel #BreakingNews #KenyaNews #ktnprime #livestream #livenews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more great videos: https://www.youtube.com/ktnnewskenya Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/KTNNewsKe Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KTNNewsKenya KTN News is a leading 24-hour TV channel in Eastern Africa with its headquarters located along Mombasa Road, at Standard Group Centre.
