Attention on countries in this to help as it seeks to curb migration. Then on the road in madagascar where a new pope will be ill built by the countrys only comment that should be ready for Pope Franciss visit. Hello im kristie want to welcome to news africa im glad you chink in kenyas finance minister has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges and weve made his 1st Court Appearance since hes a wrist on monday spent the night in a police cell but hes now been freed on bail he and other senior officials are accused of conspiring to defraud the public over award over the award of a contract to build 2 dams to an Italian Company he is the 1st sitting kenyan minister to be arrested on corruption charges. Kenya is also requesting the extradition off the italian head off the Construction Company which was contracted to build the dams he is the head of the Public Prosecution service in kenya. You or the International Image of the crowds we realize that we cannot fight corruption or structure the crimes. The office of the director of Public Prosecutions has prioritized personal proceeds of crime benefits of instruments of crime us of course discussion and forfeiture this position has been made professionally independently devoid of any external influence political discourse of duration or any other students and for more on this story im joined by the executive director of Transparency International can yes emil kim a Transparency International is an international n. G. O. S working to combat corruption welcome to africa mr kim a do you think fear of rest of the finance minister henry riteish marks a turning point for kenya. Well thank you for having me on the show in a. Book in your view is that this is an important step forward. In time we intrinsically seem because i rested just a foster not the prosecution process and ultimately what you want to see a boundary conditions and people being here responsible for their crimes right exactly and just feel points about you know one thing to see convictions theres been many voices in quarters in kenya talking about the fact that we shouldnt be celebrating a race so to say because very few convictions have followed but whats particularly different about this case we hear of corruption at state level in cape kenya all the time we now have this minister being arrested why him in particular when theres seemingly many others who should be in his position. Well i think this is the minister of finance think that is really the core government so so far hes the senior most Government Official who has the arrested for corruption. And that is the country because he is the man who runs Government Police around you know economic country has everything in connection deposition and determined but just and so on and so forth so hes really had to call god right i just want to bring to you some of the words from the Public Prosecutor he says he had that the decision to prosecute mr roach was made quote professionally independently and without political consideration do you accept that statement unconditionally. Well. I would give him the benefit of doubt so i accept that statement. Because they know that. You know a country where corruption is rampant you book you start somewhere and suddenly you know we do things in kenya you for any one of these is arrested this is a community that is aggrieved and would definitely say theyre being targeted so in this case i think i would have to go into the Public Prosecutors statement critics argue that all theyve said mr mayor that this is an attempt by the president to misuse the anticorruption fight in action in the sense of he actually wants to weaken a political component i wanted all opponents i wonder what your view of that is. In this particular case you are talking over significant number of suspects from a particular region and that is surely in my view because one of the the Government Agencies thought the very Development Agency is in the us particular place and obviously you have more people from that Police Working for the privilege but maybe it raises another question how to use our National Entity who have so many people from one place and the argument would be that if you dont have people in places where teams who are you cannot go to china in for anything so ultimately you are in office i want to be responsible for german happens in both of them. All right executive director of Transparency International kenya samuel kim a thank you as europe seeks to tackle the issue of migration it is increasingly focusing its attention on the countries of pisa hell region these include mauritania look in the fossil mali and chad they call themselves the g 5 so while they face immense challenges of poverty and wrist the European Union is pumping Financial Support into the chief 5 so hell with money going into security and education.

Feed a recount of the rimi her job is to travel to crisis zones and get a clear picture of the situation on the ground. The children strong may be cheerful but marina knows that her show is being put on just for head visits the school is receiving funding for the chief diplomat its not about feel good politics instead its a strategic position in the fight against terrorism to prevent the radicalization of young children. Its for the security of europe because if children out of school and out in the streets they are well educated they are aware of the risks of getting involved in activities that are not proper for their lives and for the communities.

U. Is helping with training but implementation is difficult. The problem with terrorism is when a state gives up entire regions as long as terrorists are far away from the population then its just a problem for the. Terrorists operate in a region thats completely neglected by the state then it becomes a long term security problem.
