National Majority leader Aden Duale has said that the Jubilee leadership is solidly behind President Uhuru Kenyatta’s fight against corruption.
Speaking during the burial service of the mother of National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi in Embu County, Duale said that the leaders are determined to ensure that public resources are protected against loss.
He also warned leaders who are using the media to smear the president and the people around him as the fight against the vice continues.
“We will support the President in this endeavor…We are, however, wary of people out there using the media and also deploying the state machinery to settle political scores. The institutions must not allow themselves to be used by others to score political points,” Dule said
His remarks were backed by Nandi Senator, Mr Kiprotich Cherargei, who chairs the Senate Justice and Legal Affairs committee.
The vocal senator said that the fight against leaders looting public resources is a collective responsibility and in good faith.
“War on graft ought to be done in good faith. That is what we expect. It should not be informed by succession politics,” he said.
The message of Duale comes after President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered for speedy investigations into the loss of Sh.9 billion at the National Youth Service.
