President Uhuru Kenyatta is not yet off the pressure mounted unto him over graft suspect. Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja has asked him to do away with all the suspects.
The legislator said the time has come for the President to sack thieves who are working in his government.
“Mr President, you have intelligence, you know someone should not serve in your government, you know for sure they are stealing and the thieves you know them just fire them,” he said.
Sakaja was speaking on Thursday during the Senate proceedings.
The legislator argued that Uhuru should fire the corrupt officers in the same manner that he appointed them.
The senator said that Kenyans are currently suffering because of a few public servants whose mission is to enrich themselves.
“When you appointed them no one asked us, so in the same way get rid of them, Kenyans are suffering [in] this country, Kenyans are feeling their own lack of personal opportunities is because of the of corrupt few… fire them,” he said.
He maintained the justice system could go on when they’re outside, and further urged the President to not sit in the cabinet with people he knows has stolen from Kenyans.
He said though the renewed fight on corruption does not target any community but the thieves who have looted public money, there must be fairness in how the suspects are handled.
