Corrupt officials are having sleepless nights as President Uhuru’s government continues to tighten the loopholes that encourage the act.
The war on graft seem to be gaining momentum as stringent measures are applied each passing day with an aim of curbing the menace that has impeded the nations development.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is committed to eradicate graft for the good of Kenyans and have a legacy that will be outstanding when he retires.
Uhuru reiterated on Wednesday his stern stand on graft that he is ready to lose friends and war on corruption will continue until all thieves are jailed.
Kenyatta said he will not be intimidated by those politicising the graft war. He was addressing leaders from Kisii and Nyamira counties at Kisii National School.
The President said his administration is working closely with the Judiciary to expedite graft cases, stating that swift justice is the only sure way to regain Kenyans’ confidence.
“I want people to hate me on other issues, but not when I am working to save the taxpayers who are greatly contributing to the economy of this country,” he said.
Present were Deputy President William Ruto, Opposition chief Raila Odinga, Governors James Ongwae (Kisii), John Nyagarama (Nyamira) and Wilbur Otichilo (Vihiga), Chief Justice David Maraga, Interior CS Fred Matiang’i, PS Susan Mochage and her Mining counterpart John Omenge.
The others were Senators Sam Ongeri (Kisii), Okong’o Omogeni (Nyamira), MPs Richard Onyonka, Jimmy Angwenyi, Richard Tong’i, Ezekiel Machogu, Alfah Miruka and Kisii Woman Representative Janet Ong’era.
Isn’t change induced by people themselves, as well as corruption?
