The deal was inked at State House, Nairobi when the President of the Swiss Confederation Alain Berset was welcomed by President Uhuru Kenyatta during his three-day official visit to Kenya.

The first cash to be targeted is an estimated Sh72 billion stolen and hidden in Swiss accounts through the famous Anglo-Leasing scandal.

"I'm extremely pleased that we've signed this framework. This framework will allow Switzerland to return financial assets that have been blocked for example in the Anglo-Leasing case," said Berset.

The development, however, was not welcomed by a section of citizens who took to social media to advise President Uhuru to abandon the move arguing it was a 'waste of time'.

On the other side, other Kenyans termed the initiative as a noble course.

Here are some reactions as expressed by netizens.

Eboyi Majani posted: "Unless you revisit the corrupt, rotten and biased Judiciary, you are in for rude shock. It seems the corrupt cartels with billions at the disposal have the Judiciary hostage."

Robinson Murundu said: "Money in Switzerland to be returned. Bravo prezzo, I can see now you entering league of legacy."

"I think it's better staying there," remarked Njoro Kama.

"Almost every day since 1963, there is something being signed but instead of our banana republic moving forward, it has become poorer," lamented William Chege.

Mohamed Dahiye Maalim Maalim posted: "Wise move. Kenya realizing her dream."

Joseph Kuria Kariuki said: "Remember to come here and update us on all recovered asset...let us know where the monies will be channelled. And the face behind the theft, otherwise a good move."

"It sounds good Mr President," said Mathew Ougo Mathew.

Ronald Barasa said: "It should not just end there. Reveal the culprits too."

"The frozen Kenya's money in Switzerland should be channelled directly to China as part of our debt repayment. Hio pesa ikirudishwa Kenya itapotea kwa watu tena," said Ongeri Edwin.

Harry Bayo said: "It is useless because it will be stolen again. Acha ikae uko."

"Haha scam loading," said James Sheiza.

Jamaa Mohammed had this to say: The West shouldn't complain of illegal immigrants if they are banking loots! Part of the problem!"
