Alfred Keter(Nandi hills) and Joshua Kutuny(Cherangany) have dismissed claims by a section of Rift Valley leaders that the region is being targeted in war on corruption. Speaking in Parliament, the two legislators asked their counterparts to allow the investigators to do their job independently and stop politicizing corruption issue and bringing tribal wars in it.
“We have heard so many people trying to say that some communities are being targeted or this issue of corruption is about 2022; I want to say that there is no community which is being targeted by anyone; neither is this fight about the politics of the 2022. The question we should be asking ourselves is ; what are we doing about the resources which are lost through corruption?” Keter said.
The Nandi hills legislator further called on his colleagues to stop interfering with any ongoing investigation saying the investigators are doing their job as mandated by the constitution and they should be given ample time. “These people who are coming out to defend other people on corruption case which is being investigated should stop and do their job which their constituents elected them to do; the DCI and the DPP are dong theirs and no one should pre-empt their investigation; if you are not involved in any corruption case then you should not panic,” said Keter.
The leaders further said they support President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Director of Public Prosecution and the Director of Criminal Investigations in the fight against graft and urged other leaders to join them regardless of their tribe
