President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned Kenyans not to expect anyone from his cabinet to be fired on the basis of hearsay and rumours in the media.
Acknowledging that Kenyans were waiting to see more convictions of the corrupt, President said it will be done by the law and not ‘vigilante justice and pitchfork protests’.
“I’ve been under pressure to answer who I am sacking, I must, however, caution that the pursuit of the corrupt will be undertaken strictly within the limits of the law,” he said amidst cheers from the legislators.
“We have effectively adopted a ‘follow-the-money’ approach to investigations and prosecutions that will continue to be strengthened and applied across the range of serious crimes, including economic ones,” he said, assuring Kenyans that the looted funds will be recovered.
” We must aspire abidingly to this ideal, and ensure that we do not pursue justice in one area through injustice in another.”
“I remain confident in our investigative and prosecutorial institutions to diligently deliver justice on the strength of the evidence and in fidelity to the law.”
