Thirdway Alliance of Kenya party leader and former presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot has praised the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji’s purge on corruption.
Aukot says that DPP Haji has won the hearts and admiration of many Kenyans on how he is pushing the war against corruption.
Speaking to journalists in Nairobi on Thursday, the former presidential candidate said that DPP has shown that the war against graft can be won.
“DPP Haji has the urge and commitment to fight corruption and the top government should support his office,” he said.
Aukot said that the recent arrests and prosecution of top government officials over graft is a good sign moving forward.
“He should be fearless and go for the big people and also push recovery of stolen public money,” he said.
Aukot said that it will be meaningless if proceeds of corruption are not recovered.
He called on politicians across the divide to support the DPP and other agencies fight corruption.
The DPP has been receiving praises for the ongoing purge against graft.
Mr Haji has ordered for arrest and prosecution of several top government officials since he took office in April.
