Corruption Vs Connection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798281333238)

For decades, Kenya has grappled with deep-rooted corruption - from high offices to grassroots institutions. But is it always just corruption, or is it something more insidious: a culture of "connection"?

In this bold and timely exposé, Edwin Hemstone explores Kenya's post-independence political evolution and the rise of patronage, loyalty networks, and impunity. With gripping detail, he examines how corruption is internally justified as a survival mechanism - a way to navigate power, opportunity, and loyalty in a system built on who you know, not what you know.

A must-read for Kenyans, policymakers, activists, and anyone seeking to understand the complex roots of corruption in modern Africa.
