JOHN GITHONGO, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, INUKA KENYA AND AN INTERNATIONAL EXPERT ON ANTI-CORRUPTION:

John opines that Kenya has reached an exciting moment of great achievements, the end of the phase of anti-corruption reforms. Oh wow!

CATHY MUMMA, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NETWORK ON FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY:

Cathy poses an intriguing question about the role of development partners in the systems and structures for fighting corruption. Well, well, well…

WACHIRA MAINA: CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER AND GOVERNANCE EXPERT:

So donors are basically out of business if they are not working with the state? Wachira believes so and you probably will too, after listening to this clip and the entire 7 parts of the radio podcast.
