[kictanet] Rwanda: Africa's Singapore - The Economist

Tue Apr 3 12:00:35 EAT 2012

It was not just tribalism that caused post election violence.

It is social structures which discourage accountability / transparency,
hinder innovation and increase frustration / alcoholism / violence.

The Chief Justice can deny (on Twitter or Google+) if this is not true...

In Kenya, some judges (public officers / constitutional office holders)
cannot be found guilty of bigamy... as the 2010 Kenya constitution exempts
them from the Bill of Rights.

How many of us would qualify as non prisoners, let alone as public
'corrections" officers in North America?
