abstract:John Githongo (born 1965) is a former Kenyan journalist who investigated bribery and fraud in his home country and later, under the presidency of Mwai Kibaki, took on an official governmental position to fight corruption. In 2005 he left that position, later accusing top ministers of large-scale fraud.
And JohnGithongo, the Kenyan civil servant charged with rooting out corruption, resigned this week and has gone into exile, apparently fearing for his life.
