If their is anything that has contributed to failure in most government agencies is corruption. Most people are tarnished by the bad name of corruption.
It has become a hobby as top government officials fraud the money meant for the poor mwananchi in large amounts.
Despite the President Uhuru Kenyatta declaring war on this menace eating away the good name of the state people have continued with this vice.
But The DPP has made one of which could be termed as the greatest ever achievement in the fight against corruption.
DPP has cut deals with NYS scandal suspects and Family Bank, recovering some lost public funds.
DPP Noordin Haji on Friday said his plea bargaining strategy had begun bearing fruit. He said other banks were fined Sh300 million for breaking the law.
“The only fears we have is that if this programme is not used well it would lead to abuse of court process, hence the need to put in necessary policies to safeguard it,” he said at Enashipai Resort, Naivasha.
Meanwhile, Haji promised more arrests involving senior NHIF and KPC managers come next week.
Hours after DCI officers nabbed some managers in connection with graft in the two state agencies, the DPP was breathing fire as the fight against graft went a notch higher.
“I’ve given consent to arrest senior managers from NHIF and KPC over graft allegations and they shall be arraigned on Monday as we seek more,” he said.
The DPP revisited the issue of arresting suspects on Friday, as has been the norm by his office. He denied claims the move was meant to punish those arrested as they wait in cells at the weekend before they are charged in courts on Monday.
Haji at the same time waded into the case facing suspended DCJ Philomena Mwilu by defending the move to appoint a private counsel from the UK to prosecute the case.
The appointment of Queen’s Counsel Khawar Qureshi was in line with the Constitution and in the past the same had been carried out in the UK and Kenya, he said.
He said the appointment was meant to address the issue of independence in the high-profile case.
“At the moment, there’re many questions on the role of secretary, public prosecutions, including allegations of political interference and witch-hunt, hence the need for independence,” Haji said.
Do you think DPP Haji will succeed in the fight against graft?
