Mudavadi warns of rising corruption, calls for accountability

Prime cabinet secretary Musalia Mudavadi has warned that addressing the corruption scourge in the country has become harder with the vice now deeply entrenched in society. Mudavadi spoke as a new report shows that securing a government job or promotion now often requires bribes running into thousands of shillings. He says corruption has now spread to the IEBC voter registration exercise, with a section of the youth allegedly demanding bribes to register as voters. The ethics and anti-corruption commission has, in the meantime, called for new ways to fight graft as it pushed for mandatory e-procurement to seal loopholes.
