Are Zambian MPs seriously in Kenyan to benchmark on how to fight corruption? Well, according to an article published in the standard media, eight Zambian MPs arrived in Kenya over the weekend.
“This is a study by our colleagues from the Zambian National Assembly. We are sharing with them our experiences as a commission when it comes to corruption and promotion of ethics in our country,” said Commissioner Mwaniki Gachoka according to the standard media.
However, this has come at a time when Kenya is facing serious corruption scandals including the Ksh. 9 billion NYS scandal, Ksh. 1.9 billion NCPB money stolen and Kenyan Pipeline Company mysteriously lost Ks. 95 billion among others.
Kenyans took to social media expressing their different views. Here is what Kenyans had to say:
Juma ???????? (@jumaf3): The only thing we can teach Zambian MPs is how best to steal and succeed like Kenyan looters. Dear Zambians, you are not different from us!
Wachira ???????? (@JenaroWachira): may the Zambian MPs see Kenya they way a secret admirer sees u and think you have made it in life yet you're always depressed considering yourself as a failure – MAYBE **Yoyocial (@yoyocial): Zambian MPs are visiting Kenya for a benchmarking trip on how to fight corruption. Eh?! Someone check the clouds, this must be the end-time!
Ciku ???????? (@Ciku_Muriithi): Zambian MPs visit Kenya to learn how to Look like you're fighting corruption while you're actually looting Public Funds! ????
Ohilipnzilo (Philip_Ozu): Breaking News: Zambian MPs to do benchmarking in Kenya on how to fight Corruption!????????
JOE MUHAHAMI (@Muhahami): Niokotwe kwa Ngirita nyumbani????????????????
Big Vic (@Vikinyo): These Zambian MPs should be arrested and jailed for wasting taxpayers money, in Kenya here we can only teach how to faster corruption, we are the catalyst.
Mondisancez (Omosh_SS): These Zambian MPs are certainly not in Kenya to learn how to fight corruption. They seemingly are on a benchmarking tour to learn how to go about procurement with a special interest in supplying air and still getting paid in billions.
Bobby (@Bob_Odhiambo): What a joke!
Count Olaf (@Olaf_Ke): If Zambian MPs are serious of the trip they should make sure that the money allocated for the benchmarking trip is inflated, we only admit top corruption students hence a good corruption track record is mandatory.
BabaSankara (@CarlOdera): Just what is wrong with the Zambian government really? You really sent a delegation to learn how to fight corruption in Kenya, of all places! You can’t even blame witchcraft for this.
