President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Twitter account was on Friday deactivated minutes after he declared war even on his political allies.
Uhuru, who is completing his second and final term in office, said he is dedicated to the fight to end graft. He said that he will not spare anyone including his brothers and sisters. He noted that the war against graft doesn’t target anyone.
“If you are corrupt we will fight you. You can be my brother or my sister or my closest political ally, but if you are corrupt we will fight you,” Uhuru said.
“I won’t be clouded by ethnicity or status in my quest to leave behind a united nation and I will continue championing for Kenya’s unity,” he said through his official Twitter account.
He also said that the nation has the potential to do better only if corruption is dealt with accordingly.
“Kenya has great potential but there is need to change practices that hinder our country from achieving progress,” he said.
The message was posted on his Twitter account.
However, KOT noted that the President’s account had been brought down minutes later.
“Sorry, that page doesn’t exist! You can search Twitter using the search box below or return to the homepage,” the page read.
