No-nonsense Karua Will Send All Corrupt Leaders to Jail, President Uhuru Says

President Kenyatta has heaped praise on Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition party presidential running mate Martha Karua, describing her as an astute and firm leader.

Kenyatta said unlike himself who has been lenient to rogue officials, Karua will ensure that all corrupt leaders are sent to jail should the Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition under Raila Odinga form the next government.

“Martha is a lady who doesn’t joke, and I am very sure she will not give all these corrupt leaders and looters a chance. They will be languishing in the cells, she is not like me who forgave them, Karua cannot forgive them," he said.

“Am happy that Odinga has joined hands with a woman who doesn’t joke and who will not wait to hear the looters do their things here and there.”

While drumming up support for the coalition in Kasarani, Nairobi on Tuesday, Kenyatta said Odinga and Karua are the only leaders who will carry on with development projects initiated by his administration and slay the corruption dragon.

“These are the people who will ensure continuity of this work and we ensure that we have a country that will be led in justice and truth,” he added.

At the same time, Kenyatta urged Kenyans to critically scrutinize those seeking leadership positions in the forthcoming elections to ensure the country gets progressive leaders to steer the nation to new heights of prosperity. He cautioned Kenyans not to be deceived into electing selfish and power-hungry politicians. 

“Do not be lured by sweet-talking politicians who seek leadership for self-gain but have no commitment to public good. Sometimes I am shocked by what some leaders say in public forums,” he stated.

“When they see good roads they stand and say, ‘you can see what our government has done’, but when things are not good, they point at others saying the Government has failed. Now I wonder how many governments do we have?”

How come corrupt Ouru himself didn’t send send all corrupt leaders into prison during his 10 years reign of terror?!?

It doesn’t come out surprising that Uhuru already knows Raila is not able to work. He is begging on Karua to do the job.
Karua had been a justice minister. How many people did she put in jail. Or perhaps there’s no corruption then!
We have Anglo leasing, Eurobond, Kazi kwa Vijana, Covid billionaires and many more.

Its quite difficult to help a blind man like you @asista ( or as ruto refers to all kalenjin men as women; himself included)! He ruto says he does not beat women but its on record he has slap Racheal plus others.

Maybe it is because when a thief like wsr comes from your community, you dont set him straight by telling him stealing is not good. Theft is a national calamity. It has made kenyans poorer while enriching the thief who is wsr.That is a fact you cant deny that ruto is the biggest thief in kenya.

Ruto has also killed women, children and men like juma, kenei, yebei, etc. so stop defending a known criminal. Ruto behaves in the likeness of a snake which soothes its prey before it strikes.

There is no way here on earth that ruto can be the next president of Kenya. He will finish the country with corruption, theft, graft, nepotism, etc. Many Kenyans will also die in the hands of wsr in the same way Hitler killed Jews in Germany.

Karua will now be the new bull-dog. Just make sure she has freedom to select judiciary. I think she should begin by hanging all corrupt judges.

Haki politicians, did Uhuru say he forgave the looters? I can imagine any leader of a functioning democracy admitting to something like that he/she would have to resign on the spot.

Again let me highlight the hypocrisy with Uhuru. Karua did not happen today. And that she is in Azimio. For the last ten years when Uhuru had his government she has been in the cold. If she’s indeed of no nonsense as Uhuru says then why won’t he have nominated her into his government since 2013. Why is it that important now?
All the times we have to see through lies.
While Uhuru is cheeky on Karua’s stand as he he described, very much is left on the speed at which Uhuru and his inner surrogates are such a rush to fraudulently acquire vast last of the ports and the Kenyatta university land. There’s vested interests in these lands otherwise why is it forced through everyone’s throat?
Uhuru of course being the leader of the official opposition party in Kenya knows so well that they are not winning. That’s one part that the the capture of state properties. This is jus a face value of what has so far come out. I wonder much stench of corruption is left uncovered?

@asista - You make our kalenjin tribe appear corrupt while its is only ruto who is corrupt and has given us a very bad name. When ruto steals and then you come out here to defend him, it just looks bad on you and others.

You’re the one who is obsessed with WSR. I have talked here about corruption meted by Uhuru and have not mentioned or defended any wrongs WSR is alleged to have done.
What I have always asked is that if the Azimio government or you as a private citizen have evidence that Ruto stole, then bring it forth. Go to court instead of continually yapping unfounded innuendos.

Kipserem-Stop using pseudonyms here. You are from the lake masquerading yourself. It I have followed your comments and I really doubt your name. You also appear to have many other Kalenjin aliases.

What are you really explaining grabbing on straws while you know there is nothing you can do to alter the fact that Ruto is a bonafide thief? Ruro is a very bitter and angry man not capable of governing a country.

Ruto is just a thin skinned immature kid not ready for national politics. Just look at his udaku company of thieves. Can you really change that mix in UDAku?

Do you really want me to tell you what ruto has stolen because the list will be longer than several mules of theft? Wacha upuzi @Asista. You have been at this nonsense far too long.

@ kora Kanini, I guess Iam optimistic. See what happened in Sri lanka? It comes atime when the masses say,"enough is enough" Only way to avoid such crisis is to do things the right way.So Iam hopping that Karua will turn the page...as Uhuru hopes too.

Look who is talking and giving lectures. Bwana Pandora offshore accounts himself. Shameless man sacking the KU VC yet he has all this vast stolen lands that he who could have donated to WHO if he cares about mwananchi. Mr Pandora it’s best you shush your beak and retire in uchaweri. We didn’t forget the billions of dollars allocated for mobile clinics to your wife anencephaly thus nothing. Not to add covid billionaires knocked right Abenaki your door steps. Karua and Raila unfortunately will not be in office. The most useless leader in modern times clearly should not not Be giving lectures in corruption yet he was at frontlines page in Washington post being corrupt. Mtapeli kabisa
