Corruption is overplayed. Even with zero corruption - kenya will remain poor.

If you're poor - harvest very low yield - even if you secure the maize store - you'll still go hungry.

The biggest challenge is to grow more and improve maize yields.

Securing the maize store is a problem of rich countries. Say you have oil or collect lots of taxes in middle or developed country - you biggest problem is corruption - as you already have the resources.

Africa need to produce more. You cannot guard an empty maize store. The coffers are literally empty - why should anyone prioritize anti-graft?

The most important think Ruto can do is to provide a creative, problem solving, serious and cerebral leadership.

So far Ruto has surrounded himself with think tanks - and has prioritized production/solving problems - and I can only expect the best.

Once a well-thought-out plan is out - and is implemented - kenya will grow - enough for some rats to steal and still leave a lot more maize in the store.
