NAIROBI: Corruption in Kenya is sliding out of control, veteran anti-corruption activist and whistle-blower John Githongo has warned in an interview following a scathing audit of government finances. The comments also came after US President Barack Obama’s visit to Kenya when he spoke of ‘the cancer of corruption’. The publication of an official audit found just one per cent of Kenya government spending and a quarter of the entire $16 billion (15 billion euro) budget was properly accounted for. Apart from the Auditor-General’s report, a series of scandals have emerged in the media concerning government procurement and land grabbing.
