A Kenyan whistle-blower has returned to his homeland after three
years of self-imposed exile.
John Githongo is to address a public
anti-graft forum in Nairobi. He fled to the United Kingdom in fear
for his life after he exposed a government scam in which state
contracts were secretly awarded to phantom firms. The
anti-corruption chief's work forced the resignation of several
visitors, including the then vice-president. Githongo had been
appointed by President Mwai Kibaki to oversee the fight against
graft, which remains embedded in the east African country.
