    re: history lesson and story of true leadership
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2015*

This book was a joy! I enjoyed the history lesson (the colonial period was particularly sad because of the evil in man's hearts). If you want to know why a lot of Africa's presidents act the way they do, read this book. It's sad that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree in a lot of cases. Many of the African presidents we consider corrupt and inept are imitating behaviors and mindsets they saw in "white" colonial overlords. The continent has suffered and continues to suffer because of injustice, greed and lack imagination & love. The hero of the story is John Githongo. He's imperfect but in the face of government wrongdoing he became the face of integrity. He saw tribalism's limits and thought more on a nationally level; right was right and wrong was wrong. Tribalism is detrimental to Africa as racism is detrimental to America. I definitely recommend it, though it could negatively cloud your judgment of NGOs and their government partners. One last thing: As I read this book I realized this: things are the way they are because someone wanted it to be that way. There are no mistakes, or loopholes.

    "IT'S OUR TURN TO EAT " IS THE LEADERSHIP MENTALITY THAT SUMS UP THE REASONS BEHIND THE  PAUPERISM OF AFRICA.
  

*by A***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2017*

Simply Superb ! I'm a  Kenyan and i can personally attest to the devastating effects of grand pilferage of public resources as clearly brought out in this masterpiece.The author clearly took her time researching on cold facts that are easily verifiable and locally relatable. What is utterly shocking is how coldly calculated,planned and organised these heists are.This book deserves to be studied by any serious Kenyan or anyone interested in knowing why Africa is " a scar on the conscience of the world ", in the words of former Britain Prime Minister Tony Blair. Corruption and negative ethnicity have and will continue to hold the Kenya and the entire continent hostage unless we the electorate rise up and elect leaders of prosperity and not leaders of  poverty. Africa is so resourceful but unfortunately for one reason or another , we have allowed ourselves to be played time and time again by fraudsters we call our leaders who have continued pauperizing us since independence and continue to without a care in the world and when election time comes, they play a con game and make use of divide and rule stratagems and tactics based on useless ethnicity and tribalism to blind and deceive the electorate on the real truth that in  Kenya it is really is not a matter of " 42 or so warring tribes" but a seemingly underground perpetual power struggle by a minuscule clique of unscrupulous and ruthless power brokers battling it out to grab as much  public resources as possible when in the highest office of the land.The only real tribes are the poor and rich period ! I thank God for the internet otherwise this book would not have seen the light of day especially in my country Kenya. Kudos Michela !

    Study of corruption and foreign aid in an African country
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013*

This book is mostly about John Githongo, an idealistic man who is given the job of rooting out corruption in Kenya following the 2002 elections. Since the end of colonial rule only two men had held the Presidency of Kenya: Kenyetta and Moi. During their corrupt regimes tribal loyalties had led to corruption, to the ruling class enriching themselves at the cost of their country. The NARC regime just elected to office promised to step away from the past; under President Kibaki Kenya would move away from the old ways.Or would it? Githongo, personally appointed by Kibaki, found corruption and took steps to deal with it. However, he discovered that corruption went all the way to the top levels of the government. The story of how John Githongo uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud and lived to tell about it is fascinating. Even more eye-opening was the way in which foreign aid was handed to Kenya despite the corruption. This is a long-term problem: so long as foreign aid props up these regimes they will continue to exist, skimming off American and European tax money so that the Minister of the Interior can buy a gold-plated Mercedes Benz and Presidents-for-Life can import Saville Row suits, French champagne and Russian caviar.The only issue I had with this book but was an attempt to smear George W. Bush as being somehow responsible for corruption in Kenya when the book itself discusses steps taken by members of his administration to hold the government accountable. I'm sure it made this book trendy when it came out, but now just makes it look silly.
