Deputy President William Ruto has asked EACC to step up efforts in the fight against corruption.
DP Ruto speaking on Friday at St. Paul Nyabururu Teachers Training College in Kitutu Chache South where he presided over a graduation ceremony, Ruto said the government is supporting fully EACC to investigate, arrest and prosecute corrupt people either working in government or the private sector.
“The Jubilee government value money and the relevant agency should move with speed to ensure anyone engaging in illegal dealings and misappropriation of funds is dealt with accordingly as required by the law,” he said.
Ruto noted that the government does not condone employees to misuse or steal money because the funds should be used to initiate projects which are beneficial to the common citizens.
“None has been authorized to misuse public funds meant for development projects. It is time all Kenyans should wake up and help the government to fight corruption which is at the peak and may derail the government in implementing the 4 agendas to the electorates,” he added.
