The second edition of ‘Kick-Out corruption ‘tournament was held at Bahati playing grounds on 5th september with a total of 12 teams in participation. Teams were branded names based on what the majority of the players would wish to become or do as a professional when they grow up. They were splitted into various professionals eg.Lawyers fc,Presidents fc,Senators fc,Governors fc,MPs fc,Directors fc,Doctors fc,Managers fc,Police fc,Ministers fc,Engineers fc, and Judges fc.The league was coupled with Kick-Out corruption activities conducted by VAP’s Anti-corruption crusaders(ACC) that focused on ethics and integrity as well as values of leadership. The Ministers fc emerged the winners of the league by trouncing Lawyers fc by two goals to nil .Additionally,all participants were awarded with certificates that confirmed them as Anti-corruption ambassadors.A word of wisdom from the secretary of Football Kenya Federation,Nairobi branch Mr. Ragos who was invited as a guest was also in handy to the participants.”I have learnt great teachings on how to stay away from being corrupt even as am focused to become a future leader. Fighting corruption is a responsibility to all of us because this nation is ours.” If we can have corruption as a subject right from the primary schools to the upper levels, then our society would be a great one.”Said, 14 year old David, from the police fc.
