President Uhuru Dares Politicians Accusing Him of Corruption to Table Evidence to DCI
President Kenyatta has dared politicians linking him to corruption to report him to the relevant authorities.
Speaking while officially opening the sixth annual Devolution Conference in Kirinyaga University on Tuesday, President Uhuru has asked those accusing him of stealing public property to present their evidence to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
“I heard someone saying that I had stolen somebody else’s property, I want to tell them to go to the DCI offices and report what Uhuru Kenyatta has stolen,” said Kenyatta o Tuesday.
He added: “But don’t go round threatening people by mentioning things in funerals, that person who has died will not help you; only the DCI can.”
While reiterating his commitment to taming corruption, Kenyatta has urged political leaders to stop politicizing the war on graft.
“This war (on graft) will not be won in funerals and weddings or anywhere else, we have those who have been tasked with the responsibility of fighting that battle. And I, as well as other Kenyans, believe that those people are capable of doing that work,” Kenyatta states adding that the fight against corruption does not target any specific individual or community.
“It is a war against a crime that robs us the opportunity to build a nation with shared prosperity for all.”
He has also called on the Governors to join him in the war against the vice.
“I call on all Governors to join me in this generational struggle where we must emphatically say No to corruption and reign in on the corrupt within our respective governments with this shared renewed zeal,” Uhuru said.

Put the governors on notice instead if you're truly serious about fighting graft. They are the originators of all this run away corruption we're hearing about.

Corruption is a double edged sword ii's now begins to shape and fight back. Literally, it wants you as the head of the state to ACT ASAP & NO TO SPEECH.
Wanachini have mixed reactions on which side you're on corruption. They demand your action about the menace which seems to grow exponential under your leadership? and in particularly of Your VP Ruto name has been mentioned on several times in different scandals over the years.
They're demanding a firmly EXECUTIVE ORDER to curb down corruptions at all position in all the Government agencies. Which should somehow entails- fully protection of whistle-blowers. Once the whistle is blown out should lead to automatically resignation from the post and/or if needed a short jail term so as to pave way for investigation of the said looted fund. Additionally public declaration of worth to all Government agency's employees to be conducted periodical is very crucial.
Don't you think this simple EXECUTIVE ORDER would be feasible than any renewal speech?

Tembo wawili wapiganapo (Kalenjin & Gikuyu), nyasi ndizo ziumiazo.
Wakati sasa umefika tembo hawa wawili waende likizoni kwa muda mrefu ili nyasi zianze kumea tena.
Uhuru atakapomaliza awamu yake ya pili 2022, tembo hawa wawili watakuwa wametawala nchi ya kenya kwa muda wa miaka 59.

It's shocking for the Kenya Treasure to pay over 21 Billion to the Italy company which's also declared bankrupt back in Italy.
The payment passed out without start of the project and additionally without the knowledge with the relevant ministry of water and infrastructure of the said 2 dam in Rift valley.
On this multitude of public funds indicate no doubts whatsoever that the Presidency were not aware by by means. The time is now or never , for the streets of Kenya to act. So Francis Atwoli starts organize workers to demonstrate in diff towns
