Kenyan finance minister resigns, VP refuses to

The fallout from the many scandals in the Kenyan government are just beginning with the resignation of the finance minister over a contracts scandal. In the scandal, the government gave lucrative contracts to a non-existing company in England, the Anglo Leasing Company. Reuters describes the scheme as:

Under the Anglo Leasing scandal, government money was paid to a shadowy foreign company for services supposedly including forgery-proof passports, navy ships and forensic laboratories.

For a government elected in 2002 pledging to end corruption, this scandal and the $1 billion Goldenberg scandal, which involved the bogus export of gold and diamonds and started under Moi, are not a very good record. The resignations are not and should not be over.
