The office of the DPP has said that it is aware of the economic consequences of corruption which are generally severe and tends to strike at very fabric of society.
The DPP, Noordin Haji further said that the media is an effective and necessary ally for exposing and preventing corruption in the country which has acted as a whistle blower.
This comes after a driver was found guilty of offering Sh,8000 and paying Sh7,000 bribe to NTSA official. He was fined Sh300,000 per count or 3 yrs in jail.
During the Prosecution that was led by Ms Vivian Kambaga, Hon. Ogoti said that Morris Logedi’s sentences will run concurrently.
The DPP was speaking during the Kenya Editors’ Guild Press Club Luncheon with the US Ambassador to Kenya who promised continued support to the fight against corruption in the Country.
“When as the media you choose to play your rightful role in fighting corruption in a democratic society such as ours you employ investigative journalism to reveal inequities and violations occuring in society” -DPP@KenyaEditors @a4tkenya @USEmbassyKenya #AntiCorruption_ODPP pic.twitter.com/jlJuRtB9Es— ODPP_KE (@ODPP_KE) March 26, 2019
