Obama hits out at Kenya over corruption

By Agencies

Even before President Obama arrived for his visit to Ghana, Kenya was feeling the heat.

In a meeting with African leaders attending the G8 summit in Italy on Friday, Obama vilified Kenya as a country where bribery and corruption were the way of life and institutions had failed.

Deputy National Security Advisor Michael Froman was quoted by the ABC News online edition saying: “His cousin in Kenya can’t find a job without paying a bribe, and that’s not the fault of the G-8.”

And he was not done with Kenya. He added that companies “can’t operate without paying, in some parts of Africa, a 25 per cent fee off the top in bribes”.
