It's Our Turn to Eat by Michela Wrong

John Githongo was Kenya's anti-corruption czar under President Mwai Kibaki — a man appointed to clean up government who discovered that the corruption went all the way to the top. When he began secretly recording ministers and officials confessing to massive fraud, he became one of Africa's most celebrated and endangered whistleblowers, eventually fleeing into exile in Britain. Journalist Michela Wrong's account of his story reads like a political thriller, exposing how Kenya's ethnic patronage networks operate, how foreign donors enable corruption through wilful blindness, and what it costs one man to choose integrity over survival. Required reading for anyone seeking to understand modern Kenyan governance and the structural roots of African political corruption.
