President Kenyatta has warned that stern action will be taken against any corrupt government officials regardless the positions they hold.
Speaking at State House, Nairobi on Monday, the President maintained that State officials must account for every cent allocated to their dockets.
“We are not going to tolerate unethical people. People with responsibility must be ready to serve and not to be served,” said the Head of State.
President Uhuru spoke when he presented a new 51-seater bus and gym equipment, all valued at Sh8 million, to Kenya High School.
The President's warning comes in the wake of multi-billion scandals that have been unearthed in various government agencies including National Youth Service (NYS), National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), Kenya Power and Kenya Pipeline Company.
On Sunday and Monday morning, 20 suspects at the centre of Sh9 billion scandal at the NYS were arrested and are currently being detained before being arraigned in court on Tuesday.
Those in custody include NYS Director-General Richard Ndubai and Youth Affairs Principal Secretary Lillian Omollo.

Uhuru (like many drinkers) threatens when he is DRUNK. Come tomorrow (when he is Sober) and he does not Remember a Thing. Just like his dad Jomo.
I doubt Uhunye can take the bullet side. This guy is a weakling without balls. Looters are ruling this country and as powerful as he is, judiciary has to do something. Not a single case has been prosecuted by Maraga who was recently payukaring somewhere in America. Aden Ndwale on the other hand and Muturi all jubilee do NOT have intellectual ability to enact stricter laws in parliament to fight bizzare looting taking place cos they are also busy payukaring through and through about 2022. Incompetent, unpatriotic and self serving individuals are serving us. Enough is enough.
If I were in yr shoes Mr. Peesident I will strike without notice or press brief coz now utaona wengi wataenda underground or change chain ya corruption..build strong anticorruption institution..system software...yenye inamornitor dairly transactions approvals. Tracking funds like cctv hata banks in USA You deposit like 10k banks may reject asking source of money..I gues +254 you can deposit 100m with no querry
Hahahah! We’re waiting, surprise us.
Uhuru Mungai Kenyatta my president on Thursday Wr on the streets n if u don’t deal with this mess we will b on the streets fir 1 month as young pple to ask you to resign.This time we will go the Egypt way.Wr tired of your empty warnings with nothing to show ur fighting corruption
Uhuru sir. You have given too many threats to your corrupt government officials who actually serve under your pleasure. Nothing has happened yet corruption has gone to very high levels under your watch. Why do you expect Kenyans will take you seriously this time. If nothing is done you will go down on history as Kenya’s most corrupt president. You are actually breaking Moi’s record. In this, the opposition is right, “Your government is corrupt”. You watch and do nothing as your friends loot and steal and enrich themselves. You have put the country under receivership. You borrow from foreign governments only to give the money to those you appoint to take care of it. Under your radar Kenya has gone to the dogs. Stop your big four for a minute and deal with corruption. Otherwise how can you convince us you are not an accomplice to all what’s going on? Gutiri muici na mucuthiriria.
This is just PR. Couple of people you can start with to show you are serious. Yourself, your niece, your aunt, your mother. The list is endless and we have not touched your friends and political allies.
Mr President, nothing can both be and not be. You and your MP's either care about the country or don't. If you care, your actions and those of the MP's will show. You as leaders are supposed to be servant's of the citizenry. There is nothing in this government that seems to fulfill the "servant"relationship. From high unexplainable salaries, allowances, borrowed funds,the whole system seems to be collapsing under the weight of individual greed. Remember "iguthua ndongoria itikinyagira nyeki". There are way too many political distractions that you are entertaining in your government that it's almost impossible for the country to move forward. Actions speak louder than words. It's not too late to speak with actions, but this must start from the top. Stop politicking while the citizenry is suffering. If politicking continues, the Dynasties will be the first casualties of their own so called " Handshake" and politics!!
Grand corruption and theft in Kenya is organized crime controlled by a central cartel which coordinates the thefts from government departments and county Treasuries. Sonko has been fighting it with reasonable success at city Hall, but you can see how it is clawing back at him. He will be lucky to survive. I doubt if there's much Uhuru can do without first identifying the individuals behind this organization and then destroying it. It will take guts.
Mutuura or ihuu should know that druglord Sonko can never fight corruption.Drug trade is a dangerous crime which involves corruption.Sonko and other drug dealers should be in jail and keys thrown to Indian Ocean
Threats za mbule from Uhuru who himself has not told Kenyans how they spent the first EUROBOND.If he cannot account for it,can he tell us how they shared the loot?Uhuru & Co.looters should be reminded that Gadafi(Libya-42 years) and Mubarak(Egypt-32 years) ruled their countries for all those years but were toppled by popular citizen's revolutions because of corruption.NYINYI WOTE NI RISASI TU.
Uhuru should tell the nation how he acquired half a billion US dollars while he is only 56 years old!
@karinga Gaddafi had helped his pple pretty well.Remember Libya currency was stronger than USA $$ my fred.Healthcare in Libya then was 1000x better than USA.Pple were getting affordable or almost free beautiful houses during Gaddafi reign.Petrol/gas was almost free in every home.Schools were free.But again the evil America preached of how useless n evil the dude was.I visited Libya for training 3 months n I witnessed all Am telling u.He had his evil side just like any president all over the world but out of 10 I will give the dude 7.5 for his progress in Libya.Anyway Uhuru need to fix this idiots who have stollen.Freeze their accounts n if their cases should b finished within 3 months.They should Then b shot or hang in broad day light.Sell all their properties they own.
Like a castrated dog, you bark but cannot do “it”
We are tired of your many vows to fight corruption, Mr President! You bark too much and do no biting, tail between your legs.....JUST DO IT! Make grand larceny treasonable & those caught lined up in Uhuru Park AND SHOT IN THE HEAD, one bullet each (we don’t wanna waste even a single bullet, we’ve already lost too much) And if you can’t do this, please resign and let more able & more patriotic Kenyans handle it, nkt!
