Fight Against Corruption

By Martha A. (Form 1)

Politics

In Kenya there has been corruption for several years. Leaders use the resources that are supposed to be used to bring development, for their own good. Like some of the MCA, instead of building roads and homes for the homeless, they use it to develop their own houses and not for the rest. They build very big houses and start businesses for themselves hence bringing a lot of poverty in some parts of Kenya.

Some of the leaders also practise tribalism. They only give job opportunities to the people of their own tribe and therefore leave the other tribes jobless. The youths, they are very idle and have nothing to do. When any development comes, most them are not given job opportunities.

I have a passion for politics and how the leaders are behaving cannot bar me from taking part in politics. They do not have favour of the other citizens.

In some towns there are many  street children because there is no one to consider them and educate them. The politicians only use force on them and give the police orders to drive them out of town. They have no shelter or other basic needs. I keep on asking myself how they always survive.

On the other hand, policemen also take bribes from the citizens whom they are supposed to give security.

“Let’s all stand tall and fight against corruption. Do not care for me I will always care for you as a patriotic citizen. We are young but always the future leaders.”
