The two leaders came together in March last year and based their re-union on nine pillars they seek to achieve, among it a successful war against the corruption menace.

However, Okango has questioned the effectiveness of the handshake, saying that most of its goals remain far from being achieved, among them the purge on corruption.

In an interview on Radio Jambo on Wednesday night, the politician observed that a year and months later, no serious action has been taken, bringing the handshake under questioning.

"These leaders said that they are uniting to fight corruption, why is it that nothing has happened since they shook hands? (Hawa viongozi wawili walisema wanaungana mikono ili wapigane na ufisadi, mbona tangu washikane mikono hakuna kile kimefanyika?)," he posed.

Okango pointed out that instead, persons who have been implicated in graft have been seen becoming bolder, including engaging in campaigns, including the Kibra one.

Okango who is eyeing the Kasipul seat in 2022 said that some are deeper inside the offspring of the handshake itself; the BBI taskforce, in reference to Busia senator Amos Wako.

"Why is it that those mentioned mentioned in graft are in the forefront in the push to amend the constitution to strengthen the war on graft? (Kwa nini wale waliotajwa katika ufisadi ndio walio katika msitari wa mbele katika kubadilisha katiba eti ndiyo tupigane na ufisadi?)," he wondered.

On Monday, Wako was banned from traveling to the United States of America over alleged involvement in graft dealings.
