Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has urged locals to report government officials who engage in corruption.
Kabogo said that his government has taken various steps to tame graft and will not entertain employees and government officials who engage in the vice.
He said that corruption is a ‘cancer’ that needs to be fought continuously.
“I am appealing to residents to work with my government in fighting graft,” he said when he awarded certificates to beneficiaries of the Technical Skill training at the Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) on Friday.
“You (the people) take the pictures of the people who demand bribes and sent them to me, I will deal with them personally,” added Governor Kabogo.
The Kiambu governor said that corruption is a hindrance to realisation of development.
He said that his government will work with agencies mandated to fight graft to sensitize county employees and locals on the effects of corruption and their role towards eliminating it.
Kabogo said that county revenue collection was steadily increasing a move he attributed to effective ant-graft policies that are already in place. The governor also said that automation of revenue collection has curtailed corruption.
