Washington DC has promised to support President Uhuru Kenyatta's actions against corruption, arguing that it's about time leaders walked the talk.
During National Prayers Breakfast last month, Uhuru asked politicians to stop being hypocrites and support the war against corruption from their own hearts.
"If only just for a moment we could all just stop talking and put into practice what we have said today. Kenya would be a different country in less than five years," he said as quoted by the Nation.
The country has been struggling to keep at bay graft lords but more often than not, politicians have politicised the exercise, making it virtually impossible for state agencies.
But ambassador Kyle McCarter on Wednesday said the United States of America will stand with President Uhuru Kenyatta in his quest to restore sanity.
"Standing with President Kenyatta in the fight against thievery. “Let’s not talk about doing it. Let’s just do it.” #StopTheseThieves," said Mr McCarter.
At a lecture in Oxford University last week, Chief Justice David Maraga said at least one-third of Kenyan budget goes to cartels working in National Government.
On Thursday, Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich is set to read yet an ambitious budget by Jubilee administration which is estimated at Sh3 trillion.
