Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has today gone hard on the war against corruption.
Mutua says that for the nation to be able to sustain the fight against corruption, there is a need to create a society that is morally averse to graft.

In the same way, our religious organizations need to purpose to preach about corruption and its effect. Religious leaders should be at the forefront NAMING and SHAMING corrupt individuals and declaring zero-tolerance to the proceedings of corruption.
It is ironical for religious leaders to accept money from people who are suspected thieves.
It is even worse when on receiving blood money, they declare that “God loves a cheerful giver” to their members whose children are unemployed, roads are terrible and life is difficult due to the rampant corruption in Kenya.
It is even shameful that they pray to God to add more money to the donating corrupt individual. “AONGEZEWE MAHALI AMETOA.” In other words they are praying to God to facilitate more NYS theft, more dams theft, more scandals and more poverty.
They are asking God to bless thieves and corruption. We need to be real as a society in this fight against graft and not just look at President Uhuru and investigative and prosecuting agencies for a miracle.”
