Gatundu South Member of Parliament (MP) Moses Kuria wants independent government offices mandated to fight graft to do their work well and prosecute all individuals implicated in corruption scandals.
Speaking on Nation FM on Thursday morning, Kuria said that the level of corruption was rising and that independent offices need to act.
He said corruption is a threat to realisation of development and that the Jubilee government is committed to weeding it out.
“Independent offices mandated to tackle corruption should work hard and ensure that the vice is curbed,” he said.
The Gatundu South lawmaker added that time has come for all Kenyans to support the war on corruption.
He stated that the money being looted in corruption scandals could be used to propel development and improve service delivery.
The lawmaker further said that there is need for collaboration among government agencies in taming the vice.
Kuria also called for review of some legislation to fast-track prosecution of graft suspects and recovery of stolen money.
There have been concerns over alleged graft in government with the Ministry of Devolution being on the spotlight over the loss of Sh791 million at the National Youth Service.
The alleged massive theft of funds at NYS led to former Devolution Cabinet Anne Waiguru resigning last year.
The CS was however cleared early this month by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
Early this week, one of the suspect in the NYS scam, Josephine Kaburu through a sworn affidavit however claimed that Waiguru was the mastermind in the NYS scam.
On Tuesday, the EACC said that it will conduct a fresh probe into the scam following revelations by Ms Kabura's statement.
Several politicians have accused the EACC of carrying out shoddy investigations into the NYS scam and want investigators who carried out the probe to resign.
