Will President Kenyatta win the war on Corruption? Time and again the head of State has stated that he is determined and ready to ensure that corruption suspects are all locked behind bars.
As time goes by though, Kenyans compare the President to a toothless bulldog as no meaningful prosecution related to corruption has been done.
The 68 Billion Dam Scandal has again put President Kenyatta’s government on the spotlight with pressure now mounting on him to fire ministers linked to corruption.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga and Cotu secretary general Francis Atwoli demanded that the officials step down to allow for investigations.
They said if Uhuru fails to sack them, Kenyans will hunt down corrupt suspects and arrest them.
“The government’s enemy is not the trade unions but those involved in stealing taxpayers’ funds. Workers just need trade unions to secure their interests,” Raila said.
They were addressing unions, media, and government officials during the 30th Pan-African trade unions’ anniversary at a Nairobi hotel.
