Opposition leader Raila Odinga yesterday told corrupt individuals to prepare to carry their own crosses as the government strives to remove the country from the league of the most corrupt nations.
“We are fully committed in the fight against corruption because we want to get out of that league,” he said.
Raila spoke while rolling out the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) registration at Shika Adabu grounds in Likoni, Mombasa.
He said Transparency International index had ranked Kenya among the most corrupt nations alongside Bangladesh and Democratic Republic of Congo, adding that the anti-graft war was unstoppable.
On the NIIMS registration exercise, Raila described the exercise as very important for the country, saying it would enable the government to plan and deliver crucial services effectively.
“By obtaining your Huduma Namba, you will be helping the government know the number of citizens who need access to health care services and other crucial services,” he said.
Raila was accompanied by Cabinet secretaries Joe Mucheru (ICT) and Simon Chelugui (Water) and Mombasa Deputy Governor William Kingi.
