Folks, while I do not know how to interpret the politics of it, the evidence of procurement fraud in Kenya at both the national and county governments is so abundant that the failure to secure convictions is because both the ODPP and EACC aiming to miss.
For some reason, both offices are busy pulling up new evidence to start prosecutions but aiming most of it at county governments. That's all in order because the prosecution has to start and continue at both levels of government.
Any governor who is interested only to get public services running and and not dipping hands into the public purse, must consider privatizing the payroll and procurement functions. Both are a minefield and few state departments will escape any proper scrutiny.
And yes, I think privatization could be used to cut out a whole set of corruption in the public sector.
