Dear Mr. Clean : Yikes. Just in case you harbor any second thoughts about the wisdom of giving up a "comfortable and well-paid" job in this rocky economy, rest assured that you did the right thing.

How can you expect to win confidence of the people unless you come to them with clean hands.

The party has tried to put a halo of honesty and uprightness on the official, but everyone knows he's corrupt.

Most progress has been made in customs administration, which used to be slow and predatory but is now quick and clean.

The current coalition government has not solved the underlying problems of corruption and inequality, and ethnic resentments are likely to remain until Kenyans elect a clean and inclusive government.
