In 1963, Kenya got independence, or so we thought. Nearly 60 years later, our resources are still being misused by those in power. Baraza Media Lab and Odipodev have have collaborated to launch this limited podcast series dubbed "Greedypendence" where we hear what happens when a chance to rebuild is tainted by greed.
Through exploring the life of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and his fight against patronage, we turn the spotlight to the west and the benefits they get from the narrative of "the corrupt continent".
