Fight against Corruption Doesn’t Target Any Tribe, Says President Kenyatta

John Wanjohi Dec 28, 2018

President Kenyatta says that the war against corruption is a national fight that does not target a particular community.

Speaking during a roundtable interview at State House, Mombasa on Friday evening, Kenyatta has dismissed allegations by a section of leaders that the war against graft targets specific communities.

“Which gender, tribe or religion admires the rape of a country?” poses President Kenyatta.

President Kenyatta has maintained that no one will be spared in the war against graft regardless of the positions and power they hold.

“When it comes to corruption, it does not matter whether you are my relatives or friends,” he reiterated.

Kenyatta has also urged the Judiciary to play its part as far as fighting corruption in the country is concerned.

“The Judiciary must be active which means they should hear cases expeditiously but also independently. Kenyans are tired of seeing cases before the Judiciary that take months and years,” says Uhuru.

“If our Judiciary needs changes in the law they should say so but I don’t believe so. We have special courts that can hear these cases concurrently,” he adds.
