"Why would you vote in a corrupt person," he asked. 

The Senator also criticised leaders for making corruption just a topic of debate. 

"They know corruption is just a national debate with no action on it," said on Monday during Citizen' TV's Power Breakfast show .

 "Our outrage on corruption is just short lived. I will tell you for a fact that like any other scandal, this will die in the next few days, " he said referring to the Health ministry scam regarding the alleged loss of Sh5.3 billion.
