Cord leader Raila Odinga has dismissed President Uhuru Kenyatta’s directive to national and county government officials who have been implicated in corruption scandals to step aside.
Mr
Odinga further faulted the President for handing over to the Senate and
National Assembly Speakers the list of individuals said to be under
investigations for corruption.
In a statement read on
his behalf by Busia Woman Representative Florence Mutua on Friday in the
county, Mr Odinga described the President’s State of the Nation address
delivered in Parliament on Thursday as a “hypocritical lamentation that
adds to nothing and accounts for nothing”, adding that Mr Kenyatta was
not committed to fighting corruption.
“What the
President did was whitewashing corruption and a move to compromise war
on corruption while purporting to fight the vice,” said the Cord leader.
He accused the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission of failing to deliver on its mandate.
“We
have serious objections to a supposedly independent anti-corruption
agency that secretly submits a list of alleged corruption suspects to
the President,” he said.
Mr Odinga questioned why
President Kenyatta remained mum on graft at the electoral commission and
ministries of Devolution, and Health.
