Is the war on Corruption being politicized?
There have been growing concerns especially from the Kalenjin Community that the war against corruption has been politicized with a section of leaders from the community even arguing that this is part of a wider scheme to scuffle Deputy President William Ruto’s Presidential ambitions.
The man at the center of it all, William Ruto also joined the Kalenjin leaders in Protesting the arrests.
Speaking in Keiyo South, Uasin Gishu County, Ruto protested the arrests of senior parastatal chiefs including Joe Sang of Kenya Pipeline Company claiming the anti-corruption crusade has been politicized to settle political scores.
Musalia Mudavadi has now told off Deputy President William Ruto over government arrests of top officials in the war on graft.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta is not fighting government officials, he is not targeting tribes. He is after the corrupt officials, not individuals,” he said, adding Kenyans should encourage and support him.
The ANC Party Boss urged elected leaders to support the President’s approach and urged politicians to keep politics out of crime.
He dismissed as mischievous claims by some Rift Valley politicians who warned that the Kalenjin managers in government jobs were being targeted and branded corrupt.
Mudavadi told clerics and worshippers to pray for the government, saying it was facing a lot of challenges while fighting graft which has derailed the development agenda.
He was speaking at PCEA church’s 120 years anniversary celebration’s at PCEA Thogoto Teachers College grounds in Kikuyu constituency.
The Kalenjin community has of late made headlines for all the wrong reasons with CEO’s from the community being implicated in multi-million corruption scandals
From KPLC MD Ken Tarus to NCPB CEO Newton Terer, and now Joe sang of KPC, members of the Kalenjin Community have protested an alleged onslaught of their people.
