A Member of Parliament (MP) elected on the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party ticket has proposed the use of demonstrations as a means of fighting the runaway corruption being witnessed in the country.
Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi claims that the political class seems to have failed on the war against the vice, calling on Kenyans to act.
“If the political class will not be able to take charge of the war on corruption, we have to go to the streets and force the corrupt out of office,” Atandi said in an interview with NTV on Monday morning.
“That is the option we have now because it appears to me, and this is from my reading that the war on corruption using the institutions we have set up is going nowhere,” said the first time MP.
He accused some senior government officials of training their guns on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) as the George Kinoti led institution fights corruption.
According to him, "there’s very little that he (Kinoti) can do” if he is not receiving the necessary support from all quarters.
However, it remains to be seen if Kenyans will embrace his proposal to flush out suspects of corruption through protests.
