DP Ruto indicts President Kenyatta on Kemsa theft
Deputy President William Ruto has launched a scathing attack on his boss, President Uhuru Kenyatta indicting him of being close to the infamous Covid billionaires linked to theft of Sh7.8 billion at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA).
While hosting a delegation of European Union representatives at his Karen residence in Nairobi, the DP said that the government has failed in the fight against corruption due to selective investigations.
“The Covid billionaires escaped because they were friends with the people who wanted to fight corruption.
If the fight against corruption was left to institutions, the Covid billionaires would be behind bars right now. The fight against corruption must be institutionalised and not personalised.
It must be weaponised against your political opponents and the people you don’t like and protecting the corrupt who are your political allies and family,” stated Ruto.
The DP promised to revitalise the fight against corruption by operationalising institutions involved in the fight against graft through ensuring autonomy when it comes to funding.
“We are very clear as Kenya Kwanza that we need a financially independent Judiciary.
As we talk there is a huge gap of judges to expedite cases that take 5 or 15 years,” Ruto added.
