DPP Noordin Haji shocked Kenyans in a televised show where he was hosted by Jeff Koinange, when he revealed the faces of corruption as per the communities.
Hajji was responding to a section of Kenyans accusing him of pointing his guns to one community.
Apparently, @UKenyatta‘s hand-picked @ODPP_KE Noordin Haji has stated that 141 Kikuyu clerks and messengers have been “charged with corruption-related offences.” No names. And not a single Kikuyu CS, principal secretary or parastatal head, yet some are cheering him on.— Dr. Miguna Miguna (@MigunaMiguna) March 13, 2019
“You are a criminal no matter your tribe; what you have done is steal from Kenyans and you must face the law. It is sad that we are trying to politicize and tribalise (sic) the whole issue here,” said Mr Haji.
According to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Noordin Haji the office is prosecuting 16 cases involving Sh100 million and above, 17 involving between Sh10 million and Sh99 million and 10 involving between Sh1 million and Sh9 million.
On the top list were the Kikuyu community with a total of 146

Politicians affiliated to Mr Ruto have time and again claimed that the war against graft is politically instigated.
Led by Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen and Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, the leaders have alleged that Mr Haji’s office is being used to scuttle Mr Ruto’s 2022 presidential ambitions.
“I am surprised, this is why I came with this file because I do not want it to look like it’s coming from my head, this is our statistics of accused persons by ethnic tribe….So who am I targeting with all these? I don’t know,” said Mr Haji.
