Ruto Says He Will be Ruthless in the War Against Corruption

President William Ruto has declared he will go full throttle in the war against graft and that he will not pardon anyone. 

Stating that he will lead the war against corruption, Mr Ruto declared he will be ruthless. He added that his government will not allow corruption to thrive and that he has communicated the same to his allies. 

"I will take personal responsibility for accountability for resources. No one will be allowed to steal the republic's resources You try ... you will encounter me personally," he said. 

Ruto spoke in Kandara constituency, Murang'a County during the burial of presidential aspirant David Waweru Ng'ethe. Waweru rose to occupy Kandara's parliamentary seat following the nullification of George Mwicigi's win. The deceased was the father of Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie.

In the past few days, the head of state has displayed his stern intentions against graft by sacking the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (Kemsa) board and suspending 27 other government officials linked to the sugar scandal. Ruto's presence at the burial was flanked by Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata, Majority leader Kimani Ichung'wa, Budget committee chair Ndindi Nyoro and  Murang'a Woman Representative Beatrice Njeri. 

Muranga Woman Rep urged Ruto not to allow thieves and underperformers to overwhelm the country during his reign. She conveyed that the ruling party will give President Ruto the leeway to remove and prosecute leaders tolerating corruption. Murang'a governor Irungu Kang'ata praised the president for cracking the whip on Kemsa, which Mr Kang'ata believes has been a source of death for many people. 

"People who can steal medicines meant for poor Kenyans must be tackled hard and ruthlessly. We stand by you. Hit them hard," he said. 

Majority leader Kimani Ichungwa said the devil of graft denies Kenyans many opportunities and therefore Ruto ought to tackle it with finality. 

"Let us manage this war. Corruption denies us so many benefits and makes our populace so sceptical that all funds will end up stolen," Mr Ichung'wa said.

@ Muthuri Mwega:

Thank you for reminding Samoei and Rigathi the following words:

" Look at your own wealth. Look at Gachagua. How did you guys become so rich while so young? Heee bana ata aibu huna ukidangayana jameni."

I commend you for pointing out to these politicians who take us for granted. As a matter of fact, they think and believe that the Kenyan people are fools.

How Come?

How could the people of Kenya elect a man who neglected his duties for 5 years (Samoei), collected his monthly salary and the accompanying benefits, got state security, studied full time until he completed his PhD using all the state resources, and finally be elected president of Kenya?

Kenyan politicians have what we used to call "kwaga thoni". They have no shame. They may not believe we are all stupid, but most importantly, they don't care.

@ M Kiraitu:

Muga? Muga kairi? Umesema ya kwamba, wanasiasa wa Kenya hawana "thoni" aibu kwa Kiswahili. Umetilia mkazo ya kwamba, hii ndiyo sababu mojawapo kubwa sana inayowafanya waendelee kufanya miujiza ya kutisha na huku wanataka waendelee kuchaguliwa ili waendeshe uhalifu wao bila kujali au kupingwa kwa muda wa miaka 100.

Kwa wakati wa sasa, kila mwananchi anaona vitendo vya ajabu ambavyo Ndugu yetu Kipchirchir Samoei ameanza kutekeleza. Anataka kufanya Kenya iwe nchi ya chama kimoja cha siasa UDA kwa miaka 100 kama Ndugu yetu Rigathi alivyosema.
Ni lazima kila mwananchi awe macho na kumpinga vikali Samoei kabla hajakamilisha wazo lake la kumeza vyama vya siasa vidogo kwenye UDA ili aendelee kutawala nchi kama Hayati Mugabe, Ndugu Biya wa Cameroon, Museveni wa Uganda, Ndugu Kagame wa Rwanda walivyofanya nchini mwao.
Kusema kweli, Kenya sasa haina rais wa halali. Kwa nini? Ndugu yetu Wafula Chebukati alipinga maoni ya wana IEBC wengine na kumfanya Samoei kuwa rais wa Kenya. Kusema kweli, Kenya sasa haina rais wa halali!

SULUHISHO - SOLUTION

Ni lazima IEBC iliyopo sasa ipigwe marufuku na kuwachagua viongozi ambao watahakikisha ya kwmba, Sura ya Sita ya Katiba yetu mpya ya Kenya imefuatiliwa ili watu wote wanaotaka kugombea uongozi wa nchi wawe ni watu wema ambao wanaweza kuiinua nchi yetu kutoka kwenye uhalifu uliopo sasa wa utawala wa kimabavu wa Samoei.

Ufisadi unatokana na dini bandia za kigeni ambazo wengi wetu wamejiunga nazo na kuanza kuziabudu.
Hebu tazama jinsi inavyotakikana kwa wananchi kuchukua msimamo wa dini zetu za asili.

Nawashukuru sana WaGikuyu wachache ambao wamekataa kabisa kuwa wafuasi wa dini za kigeni zilizojaa utapeli, wizi, uporaji wa mali ya umma, uongo usio na mwisho, ubakaji, uchoyo, madharau, ujambazi, uroho (insatiable greed), na isitoshe, uhalifu wa kila aina.

SULUHISHO - SOLUTION

Kwenye uchaguzi ujao, Mkuu wa IEBC achunguze kila mtu ambaye anataka kuchaguliwa kiongozi kabla jina lake halijatolewa kwa wananchi ambao huwa rahisi kupokea hongo na kumchagua mtu ambaye hastahili kuwa kiongozi kutokana na tabia zake nyingi mbovu katika maisha yake.

Hebu tazama vidio klipu hii halafu juone umuhimu wa kurudia imani za wazee wetu ambazo watu walikaa kwa kuheshimiana na kufanya matendo yaliyo bora katika maisha yao, kila siku 24/7.
