Corruption in Kenya: Is there an end in sight???

That the magnitude and the negative impacts of corruption on Kenya’s development since independence have been tremendous is a fact that can not be refuted;not by any scholars nor by the lay of the lay men.Political corruption in the post-colonial governments of Kenya has had a history which spans the era of the Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi's KANU governments to the Mwai Kibaki's NARC government. In the Corruption Perceptions Index since 2005, Kenya has continued to perform poorly in the ranking and there seems to be no end in sight.Scandal after scandal has rocked this country,commissions of inquiry formed whose reports nobody reads except the executive even after spending millions of money on such commissions. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Kenya It is estimated that the average urban Kenyan pays 16 bribes per month. Most of these bribes are fairly small but large ones are also taken — bribes worth over 50,000 Kenyan shillings (€600, USD$700) account for 41% of the total value. There is also corruption on a larger scale with each of the last two regimes being criticized for their involvement. The Kibaki administration,though elected on an anti corruption mandate has so far witnessed shameless acts of Public Financial mismanagement. So is there a possible end in sight to this menace? Should the young resign to pessimism and join the bandwagon when the opportunity arises? Where and how do we begin to fight this vice? Is it so socialized and ingrained in us that it is an inherent aspect of our make up as Kenyans? Who is to blame? Exactly where does the buck stop? Because everybody (leaders)we look up to to offer explanations and solutions shifts the blame and finger points.
Prof.Sam Ongeri shifting the blame

Kenya is probably the only country in the world where funds meant to feed the poor are stolen(maize scams),the rich land grabbers are supposed to be compensated millions of shillings(Mau Case),funds for social amenities like health and education are embezzled(unfolding education funds mismanagement scam) etc. Or I am just plain pessimistic? Hold it right there. For if anyone purports that Kenyans are not an optimistic people,a look at our history might probably suffice here. So where do we begin to take responsibility for our actions and quit the blame game? When will see action,tangible action for that matter,on those that perpetrate this vice in high office? I need a repose.
