Kenya’s Judiciary has been commended for its effort in combating graft and recovering looted public resouces.
President Kenyatta on Wednesday, congratulated Chief Justice David Maraga for the effort they (Judiciary) are making towards achieving zero corruption in Kenya.
Addressing Kisii leaders and residents, Uhuru vowed to continue fighting graft despite the challenges.
‘I will continue fighting corruption until we win the war. We shall not be moved or shaken by forces against this war,’ he said as he commended Chief Justice David Maraga (who was present) for leading a judiciary which has now become bolder in fighting the vice.
The President expressed his appreciation that the judiciary is now showing a strong will to fight graft and the courts are demonstrating a strong commitment to punish those engaging in corruption.
President Kenyatta said resources being lost through corruption can be used to improve the salaries of public servants who he told to be patient in the push for better remuneration until the economy improves and the anti-graft war is won.
“Once we win this war, we can afford higher salaries. When the economy improves, we can talk of better salaries,” he said as he warned that corrupt individuals should stop dragging their communities into their problems once nabbed engaging in corruption deals.
The Deputy President Dr. William Ruto supported Uhuru’s sentiments that Kenyans were no longer interested in divisive politics.
“We have agreed we do not need politics of hate, division and fighting among leaders,” DP Ruto said.
