Kenyan President, Uhuru shares his frustrations in fight against ‘corruption’
Kenya’s number one citizen, President Uhuru Kenyatta has revealed that he is being frustrated in his quest to fight corruption in his country and is miffed that no progress has been made in the investigation of the public officials who had been named in the list of shame.
“If there is one issue that has frustrated me it’s corruption, because the pressure is on me to do something about it,” said Uhuru, at a Summit, referring to ‘corruption’ as an issue that has been at the centre stage of every Kenyan public debate.
Continuing, Uhuru informed that his administration had been on the fore front of the matter as compared to any other.
“Show me an administration since independence that has taken action on corruption like I have,” said Uhuru. Speaking during State House Summit on Governance, Uhuru said he had provided all resources that institutions had asked for to be able to deal with corruption but no fruits were forthcoming.
Uhuru also the tasked Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission CEO Halakhe Waqo and Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko who were among the Summit attendees to make progress in the investigation and prosecution of public officials who had been named in the list of shame.
