Corruption on the march. Like the penguins.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of the new Transparency International report that purportedly shows that corruption is on the rise worldwide -- mainly because I can't seem any information more detailed than that in the official press release -- but one glimmer of hope seems to be that almost half of Kenyans surveyed think their country is somewhat less corrupt than it was just three years ago. [UPDATE: Ooh, found the full report in pdf. But now I have to read it.]
