Siaya senator James Orengo on Tuesday before the opening of Devolution conference, expressed that culprits of corruption must be publicly named and shamed.
Arrests and trials are important, but not enough, he said.
“At this stage when corruption has become a cancer, the fight is not going to be won without naming names,” the Senate Minority leader said.
“We should not be scared of naming and shaming,” Orengo said, adding that’s one way to ensure leaders adhere to the Constitution’s Chapter Six on integrity.
Kenyan leaders are always scared when their names are associated with corruption, “even if it’s just to record a statement”, he said.
Many countries that have succeeded in fighting corruption used the name-and-shame strategy as a deterrent, Orengo said.
