Deputy President William Ruto has said the government’s fight against corruption is unwavering and no one will be spared.
He said institutions should be allowed to prosecute the war against graft using factual information.
He was speaking in Murang’a County on Monday during the funeral service of Margaret Wangechi, mother to area Senator Irungu Kang’ata.
The DP said the government will not condone those using propaganda in the name of fighting corruption to paint Jubilee development plans negatively.
“We will not allow such schemes. We are aware of politicians who are after watering down the legacy of President Uhuru Kenyatta,” added the Deputy President.
The DP said his concern on the construction of dams was because it was part of the Jubilee manifesto, which promised clean drinking water for people and livestock, and for irrigation to boost food production.
Politicians who accompanied the DP noted that “if we have institutions that are directed by the politics of the day, then Kenya is doomed”.
According to them, the ongoing purge on corruption should be done without bias; be informed by facts and free of politics.
“We must stick to the truth as we fight corruption. The prosecution of corruption should not be a media agenda. We must allow independent institutions to function independently,” said Kipchumba Murkomen, the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator.
Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika said the corruption fight should be objective.
