President Kenyatta has insisted that no one will be spared in the ongoing fight against corruption.
Speaking at the burial of Kenyan singer John De’Mathew in Murang’a County on Saturday, Kenyatta vowed to ensure that all looted public funds are recovered.
Kenyatta said the war on graft has been made easier by the fact that he will not be seeking reelection, stating that his loyalty is to the people of Kenya and does not care who will be arrested in the process.
“We shall keep that vow because I personally have no friends other than the people of Kenya,” said Kenyatta.
“The culture of unbridled corruption will end; I will continue pursuing the corrupt. I have been telling them that I am not seeking votes anymore; they have to return public money. I don’t have a friend when it comes to fighting corruption. My friends are the people of Kenya,” he added.
Kenyatta further warned political leaders against making inflammatory remarks that may create animosity among Kenyans.
“I seek to urge leaders to be very careful when making some remarks as they can cause trouble in our country and return to haunt them in future,” remarked Uhuru.
