Jubilee regime has had its fair share of scandals that is threatening to collapse Kenya; economically, socially and politically.
Corruption has grown so widespread and sophisticated that it threatens to undermine the very fabric of the Kenyan society.
In the past few days, the media, using the Auditor General’s reports, has shed light on a massive looting of state coffers amounting to billions of shillings.
Speaking on Citizen TV show JKLive, the Retired Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) cleric Timothy Njoya covered various topics ranging from the corruption, handshake, gay rights, religion, and referendum.
On corruption, Njoya said, ‘The president is not helpless, he lacks the will and the tools to work; which are available to him if he wants’. He also suggested that those engaging in corruption should face the death penalty. This he noted would scare others from engaging in it.
“If Uhuru Kenyatta’s father hanged the poor for robbing the rich why can’t he (Uhuru) do the same; hang a few for robbing the poor” he said.
Dr. Njoya further lamented the runaway corruption stating that the country is facing a dire crisis. He pointed out the class struggle by saying that Kenya does not have the cohesive spirit of a nation but is rather ‘a market owned by a fellowship of the rich with the rich, who impoverish the already impoverished’.
Despite the widespread corruption, the judges only ‘jail the poor thieves and petty criminals’, because they cannot afford to buy a judge.
