“Kenyans need hospitals, roads, electricity and jobs and that cannot be achieved through the get-rich-quick way but through sweat and hard work,” the President said.
The President said the government has also put efforts to reinforce the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and appointed people who are ready to work.
The Directorate of Public Prosecutions has also been streamlined, he said and is now waiting for corruption suspects to be charged in court.
