Trade unionist Francis Atwoli now says President Uhuru Kenyatta has been left to work alone by top government officials in his fight against corruption.
The Central Organization of Trade Unions (Cotu) secretary general was saying this on the recent (NYS) scandal where Sh9 billion went missing hence starting a fresh blow to President Kenyatta’s fight against corruption.
The money was allegedly taken from the institution in the last three years in a well planned scheme that included senior government officials and ghost suppliers.
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr Noordin Haji and the Public Accounts Committee, are already set to probe those involved in the scandal.
The opposition has also demanded the resignation of two Cabinet Secretaries Henry Rotich (Treasury) and his Health counterpart Sicily Kariuki as well as budget boss Ms Agnes Odhiambo over the NYS scandal.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has also interrogated Public Service Principal Secretary Lilian Mbogo Omollo and NYS Director-General Richard Ndubai, and the two are to face another round of grilling.
Mr Atwoli blamed top government officials of lying to the president of what is going on in the government, claiming they stand to benefit from corruption.
The Cotu boss reiterated the need for constitutional review, saying it is the only way to stabilise the nation.
But he denied reports that he is pushing for the return of the Prime Minister position in the Executive.
“People mistook me. I did not suggest the formation a Prime Minister position. All I said is that we want an all-inclusive constitution when it comes to leadership within the Executive.”
