Corruption in Kenya stems from western capitals

While not condoning the evils of corruption being witnessed in Africa and Kenya in particular, let me point out that this social, economic and political vice has been sanctioned and covertly supported by the western govenments while pretending to be in the front line against corruption. You can imagine what has been going on in the developing world if people like Duke Cunningham, Jack Abrahamoff, Tom Delay and their likes had connections in African. For instance, Africa is well know to produce all these minerals and oil. Look at those countries where these resources are located. It is abject poverty and despair, while the multinationals are scooping everthing and in the process leaving the people where these resources are located. The multinationals which are again all western owned have no shame to boast of anything. Look at the Democratic Republic of Congo. Her vast mineral resources have been plundered and on the process wars have been launched just to cover up the ills of what is really going on. In fact, the west is loosing Africa's trust and confidence at an alarming rate and no wonder there is all this bitterness and hatred which in the first place was not supposed to be there if there was true care and love of the people where these resources are found. In order to solve this malady, the west and others involved in the plunder of Africa should put their acts together and stop pointing accusing finger while they know the truth. The buck stops at their tables and those of their associates in Africa and elsewhre. They should learn to involve the local communities in decision making and not the elites; who are corrupt deep into their bones.
The current government of Mwai Kibaki in Kenya has tried compared with the last two regimes of Jomo Kenyatta and Arap Moi. For example the government of former president Moi could only collect SH.180 billion from the tax revenues. The current government is collecting over SH.300 billion. What used to happen to the rest SH.120 billion? Somebody somewhere used to pocket it while the IMF and World Bank were watching and doing nothing. The only thing the IMF and World bank knew how to do was to introduce dobious structural adjuctment programs (SAP) which were and are a total failure. "The adjustment is needed more in the World Bank and IMF polies than in those of the the African governments. The bank has been encouraging an expansion of primary commodity exports not only from africa, but also from all over the world. No one can fail to see the aim of these schemes. The aim is cheap raw materials for the industrialized world and less care for the producers in the "third world" as they are called by those who are very good at classifying people. From all the evidence to hand it appears that the foreign experts from the IMF and the World Bank had been persuading African governments to adopt policies that were actually causing overproduction and worsening terms of trade,land degradation and drought,which were destroying what was left of the strength of African societies_skilful small-scale farming, the central role of women in the village economy, mixed cropping, urban crafts, a balance between urban and rural life and fruitful exchange between agriculturalists and pastoralists.
The world Bank's adjustment programmes had been preceded by plans for industrialization and for economic take-off and then for targeting poverty, and the adjustment programmes were followed by crisis management. All these were prescriptions proposed from outside Africa as solutions for the outsiders perceptions of what were Africa's problems. Each new prescription only aggravated the illness that was supposedly being treated. All the proposed cures had two elements in common: first they were thought up outside Africa and applied without consultation with Africans at any level below a narrow elites of ministers and officials, and not always at that level: second they had done nothing to correct the colonial inheritance of a continent divided into fifty-six artificially created states, each supplying just two or three specific commodities to one or other of the industrialized powers or their giant companies" Let us be honest and truthful folks! Let learn there are enough resources for every human being in this world but needs to shared. I believe the creator knew this best when he created the world.
The solution is for the World Bank and IMF to
1. Cancel all debts which were acquired in shady deals.
2. Revome all protective barriers for African commodities.
3. End the concealment of transactions of the true values of the produce from Africa.
If Mr Wolfowitz is really a serious and truthful man as he seems to sound, and he is not there for the multinationals, he should champion for the above three solutions.
