Kenya: Kibaki, War on corruption cannot be won in a day

Kenya's war on graft came under the spotlight yesterday at a meeting of anti-corruption experts, with President Kibaki asking to be judged fairly. Saying he was personally in charge of the war on graft, the President said he had not wavered and would live true to his promise of zero-tolerance to corruption. But he pleaded for more time, explaining that fighting corruption was not simple. Soon after the President left, anti-corruption experts made a strong case for the immediate sacking of Cabinet ministers and top government officials implicated in corruption.
