Fight against Corruption Doesn’t Target Any Tribe, Says President Kenyatta
President Kenyatta says that the war against corruption is a national fight that does not target a particular community.
Speaking during a roundtable interview at State House, Mombasa on Friday evening, Kenyatta has dismissed allegations by a section of leaders that the war against graft targets specific communities.
“Which gender, tribe or religion admires the rape of a country?” poses President Kenyatta.
President Kenyatta has maintained that no one will be spared in the war against graft regardless of the positions and power they hold.
“When it comes to corruption, it does not matter whether you are my relatives or friends,” he reiterated.
Kenyatta has also urged the Judiciary to play its part as far as fighting corruption in the country is concerned.
“The Judiciary must be active which means they should hear cases expeditiously but also independently. Kenyans are tired of seeing cases before the Judiciary that take months and years,” says Uhuru.
“If our Judiciary needs changes in the law they should say so but I don’t believe so. We have special courts that can hear these cases concurrently,” he adds.

Agree, no gender, tribe or religion admire the rape of our country. However when you slice it the other way, there is a class that is largely perpetuating impunity and corruption in the country. The three arms of government must be seen to act in unison to dismantle this class.
Judiciary, Legislature and the Executive do not exist in isolation of the Kenyan people and when a unique national disaster like corruption strikes, collective (though independent) action need be taken.
We understand the independence of these three arms, but there is commonality of purpose in serving the country. If any of the arms is more concerned about exacting its independence, the the war on corruption and impunity becomes more complex and exhausting to the willing partners. Curiously, what role does the house or the media play in this? what say you my MPs on this issue?what say you fourth estate?

Kenya can be redeemed. It’s not all lost. We need to start rebuilding what we have demolished and destroyed. It needs to start from deep in our hearts. The fight against corruption is a big start. Coupled with reconstruction of our morality and sense of duty, we will go far. There’s still great hope for our beloved country. Long live Kenya.
