President William Ruto has issued a stern warning to ministries and state departments, cautioning them against engaging in corrupt activities.
During his Thursday address to the nation, Ruto stressed the importance of combatting corruption, wastefulness, inefficiency, and negligence, as they undermine Kenya's progress. He urged parliamentarians to swiftly pass the Assets Declaration and Conflict of Interest Bill. He considers enacting the bill a crucial step in strengthening anti-corruption measures and preventing the misappropriation of public funds.
“I ask this honourable House to finalize the Assets Declaration and Conflict of Interest Bill to further tighten our anti-corruption policy framework and eliminate space for those who want to steal our money,” he said.
Ruto also seized the moment to ponder the achievements and hurdles encountered during his leadership, highlighting progress in healthcare, education, infrastructure, security, and agriculture. Acknowledging the struggles endured by Kenyans as a result of the high cost of living living expenses, he vowed to enact further reforms and strategies aimed at improving the well-being of the populace.
Ruto expressed his government's steadfast commitment to the Kenya Kwanza vision, envisioning a thriving, inclusive, and democratic nation. Members of Parliament had varying responses to Ruto's speech, with certain individuals applauding his leadership and achievements, while others voiced their dissatisfaction with his economic stewardship. President William Ruto announced that the efforts made by his Kenya Kwanza government have effectively reduced the price of a 2kg packet of maize flour to Sh145.
The President underscored that the present retail price for the product ranges from Sh145-Sh175, a noteworthy dive from its original Sh250 tag when he assumed leadership.

You can set all the laws you want,and pass all the bills to curb corruption.But so long as it is profitable to corrupt,people will do it.Unfortunately,this behavior comes from people who are unethical,and have no dignity.
Are we also to believe that,thus far there have been very weak laws to prevent the misappropriation of public funds?
I dont know the details in the Assets Declaration and conflict of Interest Bill,but if punishment of not less than 20 years in jail,and confiscation of illegally acquired assets,plus punitive damages are not included, it is still a "weak bill".
May I also remind Ruto that a few years ago a poll was conducted in Kenya as to who were the most corrupt individuals in Kenya,and Dr. Ruto,and Ann Waiguru topped the list.It time to revisit this pollster again, before he is corrupted into a porn star .
In Its Pack of Wolves, The Alpha Wolf Took a Stand Against Preying on Sheep and Urged The Pack of Quick Approval of The Proposal.
Ruto is just running his mouth for nothing because he is the most corrupt man and he will do nothing to end corruption.
Ruto holds all the keys to any corrupt entity and his only goal is to attain shoddy wealth by allowing those close to him to steal from our country’s coffers; just the same way he steals from ordinary Kenyans.
Passing a corruption bill does not mean much to Ruto and his current crop of political class thieves and the civil servants.
Kenya is at a place where the politicians desire to take everything from the poor citizens; and that stealing attitude comes directly from Ruto himself.
Let Ruto not come up with silly bills which he knows very well that he can not enforce! Corruption has gotten worse in Kenya since Ruto unfortunately became the president and it will not stop now. Our country will literally collapse because of the current wanton theft sponsored by Ruto himself. Ruto is running a country of high profile thieves, and he is the master of corrupt eruption in Kenya.
And until this legislation goes thru parliament, corruption will continue unabated.
Ruto has a questioned phenomenal wealth from a hustler to a 43 Billion and staggering unknown list and sources. Thus, you can not mitigate corruption with one hand only while the other is soaked with oil digging.
There are some many example on this planet earth, people have almost 90% or more eradicate corruptions in their county. One of them is Singapore where corrupted official were sentenced to live and property were confiscated by the govt. Initially, the corrupted people were faced with death squared and later changed to life imprisonment because the power of the people took up the mob justice to publicly execute them like a thieves caught in River road or Kawangwere. The people power will one day spring into action after they released they are responsible for the 3 arm of the govt.
Ruto is the corruption kingpin of the Republic of Kenya. He does not care about the Kenyan people and our Republic! I assure you Ruto would sell our country to the highest bidder, pocket the money and take off running while the country sinks! Kenya is just a cash cow to enrich Ruto.
Ruto the head of corrupt Kenya, now wants to stop corruption? I tire for myself. Since YFK in 1992, Ruto has been in every corrupt deal
I rarely agree with the crazy desperate shit you say here, but on this one about Ruto, you have been less drunk, and I do agree with you wholly!
A thief can never be the one chasing other thieves away! Ruto is known to be most corrupt president in the entire continent of Africa. Even his wife Rachel won’t vouch out for Ruto if a chicken come out missing with the vicinity of Ruto!
I am a Nigerian and Ruto is known in my country as the worst thief in the world. I really do feel sorry for the Kenyan people for the grabber you elected to destroy your country!
@Okoroachifio, Ruto has a direct link to the takers of your country of Nigeria! His daughter is married there.
We have recently seen a high inflow of conmen from Nigeria to Kenya. Your Igbo cousin is married to one of conman Ruto’s daughter; a marriage conjured by Ruto as a contract to have your crazy people come to Kenya to help him steal.
The Igbo and Kalenjin tribes have one thread in common of being the worst thieves in the world. The name Ruto simply means a ‘curse’ to Kenyans. It is a fact known every where in the world.
So, don’t feel sorry for the Kenyan folks because Ruto is sharing the same poisoned plate of evil with you through an unholy marriage alliance and kinmanship. Ruto is closer to your Igbo tribe than to the Kenyan people. You can take the whole Ruto family and settle them in the Niger Delta to be closer to you! Stop shedding crocodile tears for us.
OUR TRADITIONAL FORM OF ADMINISTRATION
It is sad and unfortunate that when the illegal immigrants from Europe settled in our lands they chose to disregard or incorporate anything from our traditions.
139 years ago from Saturday, November 15, 1884 to Thursday, February 26 1885, European brothers gathered in Berlin Germany (Berlin Conference) to divide COHO (Continent of Human origins aka Africa) among themselves. This was the Second Phase the same Europeans had sealed the fate of COHO. During the First Phase, over 12 million people were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to work as undocumented slaves without receiving a single penny after working sunrise to sunset for four centuries.
WHO AUTHORIZED THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE? BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Can you believe it? It was the Roman Catholic Pope Nicholas the Fifth who passed a Papal Bull on June 18, 1452 authorizing Portugal to capture and sell people from the Continent into slavery. Later, Pope Alexander the Sixth passed another Papal Bull authorizing Portugal and Spain to occupy the Americas on May 04, 1493. He authorized them to settle and occupy the lands of the Americas! He authorized them to convert the indigenous people to be blind followers of the religion that is based on the late son of Mariam. He reminded them to continue with kidnapping, and selling indigenous people of COHO into slavery.
OUR TRADITIONAL Form OF GOVERMENT
Our system did not allow one person to determine the fate of the entire nation as the current system of "democracy" does. Elders gathered under a tree and discussed issues affecting the entire community and came up with viable solutions (SULUHISHO) that affected the entire community. See what Ndugu Samoei has done in our nation in the name of "democracy." He has forgotten that Kenya is made up of 70 distinct micronations and has given key positions to members of his group. If this is what "democracy" is meant to be, I have absolutely no respect for this alien political construct.
SOLUTION- SULUHISHO
Let each micronation select the best from their group and let these selected few form a "Council of Elders" that will run the affairs of the entire nation.
The time to get rid of the position of a president has come. The best brains of the nation can work together and come up with rational decisions which will make Ndugu Rigathi and Samoei the last people to administer a neo-colonial form of government in COHO.
TACKLING CURRENT FORMS OF CORRUPTION IN KENYA- SOLUTIONS:
With the presence of Smartphones everywhere, citizens should be encouraged to use them when they are interacting with members of the government and record all transactions. Efficiency will be realized immediately and the nation will be on the Highway to prosperity immediately.
