    Thanks for this link Ory.

    I agree, it is, surprisingly, a very well written and researched piece. I thought is was just being carried in Time Europe so I checked and was pleasantly surprised to find that the piece was in the US/Canada Edition too.

    It is only on the web edition though since it is a web exclusive, nothing in the print edition.

    Githongo gets right to the heart of the matter in this quote:

    “We are seeing political accountability on corruption for the first time in Kenyan history,” says Githongo, 40. “It’s a painful process, and no one ever said it would be straightforward, but hopefully some of the impunity witnessed will never happen again.”

    Nice ending to the piece too:

    One thing’s for sure: John Githongo does not stand alone. He has a nation behind him now.

    While it is not all about Githongo, the nation has definitely been mobilized into starting to demand political and civic accountability for transgressions aganist the electorate.

    Let’s hope that we stick to it.

    Consultations provided by our online pharmacy http://viagra-haba.blogspot.com are very innovative. It takes advantage of the Internet drugstore diet pills to ameliorate patient’s access to the licensed doctors [url=http://dietpill-haba.blogspot.com]diet pill[/url] and prescription drugs online. This system is faster and easier. It does not require a typical exam by a doctor. [url]http://tramadol-haba.blogspot.com[/url]
