DPP Haji reveals Kikuyu, not Kalenjin community, has the highest number of people implicated in graft cases. The Embu community has the least corrupt people as per the statistics. so next time when you see a ballot paper with leaders from most corrupt tribes,
Keeping such leaders in the system means that kenya will continue to suffer in the hands of corrupt leaders. This is a good survey that can help Kenyans make sound decisions come next General elections.
The DPP dismissed claims that the ongoing fight on corruption was aimed at certain people and communities – He said they were only after those who stole from Kenyans and they will be prosecuted
People have speculated that war against graft is mostly targeting members of the Kalenjin community, but that is not the case if the latest report by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Noordin Haiji, is anything to go by
The DPP produced a report indicating the Kalenjin community was not being victimized in the anti-graft war – A section of politicians had accused the DPP of using corruption to fight leaders from the Kalenjin community –
But the report by Haji showed Kikuyu and Luo communities had the highest number of people implicated in graft cases
Haji stated no individual or tribe was being targeted in the anti-corruption war, contrary to the persistent and sensational claims by Deputy President William Ruto and his political allies from the Rift Valley region.
