Mr. Mahamoud Harbi - Mr. Mohamed Djama Elabeh.

These politicians had got for them the merit of the dignity.
They belong neither at the one, nor at the other ; they are the historic property of Djibouti Nation.

06/11/03 - Kenya and corruptions - the president kenyan, Mr. Mwaï Kibaki - intensifies its offensive in hunting against corruptions and fixes a calendar of actions to be carried out.

By Bouh Warsama.


" Corruption became a subject of all Society scouring in almost the whole of the countries of planet, including the democratic countries and which are said developed countries".

The less which one can say, it is that the initiative of the president of Kenya - which is to make fight against all corruptions in its country - is one of the priority objectives of its government and does not limit itself to words but to strong acts which show its will to respect of all policy promises that were take in this field in front of all the populations of Kenya.

Its engagements add to its responsibilities with respect to the international financial institutions which must maintain their confidence to him because they know that the expeditious procedure to put the Kenya on the path of the social progress and economic is the essential key of the future which obligatorily passes by the fight against all corruptions.

Corrupters (bribers) and corrupt men, taking all the precautions not to make the publicity of their acts and of their profits, but had now the feeling which they did not understand - when it was possible to make this - that the new Kenya State - under Mr. Mwaï Kibaki - would to express such a determination to go to seek them - one by one and without hesitation - in the responsibility for their acts for corruptions and that the president would oblige them today to give back to the State kenyan the money which they would have diverted and are obliged also to justify the origin of their personal fortunes.

We must expect the emergence of lawsuits exemplary and dissuasive for the future because Mr. Mwaï Kibaki launched a form of long anti-corruption crusade and he will not stop there ; the Kenya president knows perfectly that the stakes are too important for the future of its country and the kenyans.

They are Courage acts !.

At the moment I write this article, some must sleep with great difficulties each night while being known that are suspected with good reason of corruption.

This demonstrates at the national level, and regional (UE, OUA, OAS, ASEAN) and at the international level (OCDE, ONU, BM, FMI, PNUD) that this fight - in front of the corruptions - can and must be before all a priority of national policy ; National policy like Mr. Mwaï Kibaki shows the way.

His fight gained its statute of governmental program essential and obtains the justified development hopes in profit of one good economic order, social and political. Djibouti present government , should inspire himself of this essential statute of governmental program if it wishes to obtain one credibility which it does not have on the national and international level.

  • Kenya in front of the Corruption.

These last years, within broad fractions the Kenya Society had developed and increased bad corruption feeling which required and implied raising of moral standards - all at the same time - and a request of the institution of an equitable justice of the State with the need for improvement of the credibility and of engagements of the public actors.

  • Corruption - Gangrene or one strategy who is related to economy International market.

Corruption interests all the analysts who have in load the development of a country - in Kenya and elsewhere - because is inevitably posed the phenomenon of political modernization, economic and social of the States of the Third World under the best possible conditions.

  • Corruption - The controversy between functionality of liberals and the structuralists.

The first see in corruption a strategy to avoid the political and administrative obstacles - and an effective accelerator certainly amoral but being of the desirable transitions towards free markets and democratic, whereas seconds preserve the interests of the victims of this abstract system and preaches the construction of a strong State with the desire to improve the productivity of its borrowings to avoid an increase with respect to the international assistances.

  • Corruption - Three questions arise.

    • 1 - Which are causes of corruption ?.

    • 2 - Which are its consequences?.

    • 3 - How can one fight against this phenomenon whose consequences are negative ?.

- That it is admitted or not - on the bottom - corruption is an attack of all the freedom, at equity and no respect of Justice.

Each one must carry out a major and objective reflexion on these three points.

  • Corruption and its effects on the Society.

In so far as the analyses are seriously carried out, they show almost all the disastrous effects of corruption:

  • 1 - Corruption involves a strong fall of the investments, growth and the increase in the insecurity of the economic environment.
    In fact and in particular foreign investors - will be nervous in front of corruption and will be all the more when it is encouraged and covered by the State like it is the case currently in Djibouti.

  • 2 - Corruption it is the deterioration of the legal processes. There still one seizes the importance of an independent Justice that can have the political power.
    Independence of the Justice which acts in serenely and respects the Laws of which has the responsibility.

  • 3 - Corruption it is unquestionably the reinforcement of all the social, economic and policy inequalities with the increase in poverty by an impossibility to access to the public services sold with friend highest offerer in falsified markets, without real and official competition...

  • 4 - Corruption it is the increase in the public deficits following the speculations of State revenues, in the tax avoidance and the distortion of the expenditure in favour of the programs offering more "bribes",

  • 5 - Corruption is the inequality of treatment of the files of the applicants to employment in the government administration.
    Criteria of recruiting being artificial for to support the children of the "servants of the State" to the detriment of the young less fortunate graduates and not subjecting itself to the prospects for rackets that one imposes to them by unjustified deductions taking away on their wages.

  • 6 - Corruption rises from the general irresponsibility of the great State bodies which don't inspect and control. Non-observance of the environment and the rules of urbanization, protection of the criminal organizations of type "Maffia local" and will nomenklatura in the monopolization of the private sectors of industry and commercial activities.

In entering the sphere of activity of the institutions, Corruption becomes the "mother of all the evils" and worsens for general public the statute of "the illegality which is legitimate" as it is currently the case in Djibouti.

As an example, all the acts of Justice become prone to guarantee when well even they would be right and equitable.

With Corruption there is no Justice possibility, and without Justice there is no free State !. The demonstration is undoubtedly exact.

This confirms that democratization, offering the freedom of expression at least, allows the national and international diffusion of this perception of fight in front of Corruption like Justice and thus encourages with the emergence of a State of right.

  • The new State of Kenya in front of Corruptions.

President Mwai Kibaki officially opened Monday - in Nairobi - the first regional conference of the African network of members of Parliament of fight against corruption.

He declared that its government had engaged on the greatest process of legal reforms in the history of the Commonwealth, while specifying with firmness that the date limits declaration of the personal richnesses was deferred to semi November 2003.

By doing this, he launched a solemn warning by announcing that those which would not respect this date limits would be sanctioned on the administrative level but also they will be translated in front of the courts charged to fight against corruption on the level of the administrations of Kenya.

While thus acting, president Mwaï Kibaki, is coming to open the international door in the fight in front of all Corruptions.

This fight, launched by the president of Kenya, has the merit to be clear and courageous, it thus confirms its will to respect all the commitments which he undertook in this field with respect to the populations of Kenya and the international authorities.

Its objective is to restore and to reinforce the responsibility for men and women which are State Servants, on all the levels of the hierarchy and with the noble sense of this term.

"God saves Kenya and democracy acts".
