If there was a Nobel Prize for fighting corruption, Auditor General Nancy Gathungu should have it proudly on her shelf. She has become a one-woman anti-graft army, tirelessly exposing the ills of this country with the relentlessness of someone who actually believes accountability is possible.
Unfortunately, that makes her a rare and lonely figure. Instead of being celebrated, she is insulted, harassed, and belittled by politicians whose only consistent talent is avoiding responsibility. Many treat her as a mere irritant—“all bark and no bite.” But the bite isn’t hers to deliver. Her job is to document and expose, put the rot on paper for all to see. Whether the culprits are brought to justice is the job of others—though in Kenya, that’s a job perpetually deferred.
