The late legendary American football coach - Paul William "Bear" Bryant - once said, "when you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: admit it, learn from it and do not repeat it."
Hon. Henry Kosgey's gesture, in my opinion, is a most welcome move.
Public officers should not only learn the art of owning up whenever they have tripped, but they should also get it in their head that corruption, disregard of the law (whether outright or ignorantly), favoratism, cronism and tribalism/nepotism are the greatest enemies of progress and merit in any given society.
