He appealed Kenyans to dedicate 2017 to a caring government, given that it is an election year.

Raila cited various corruption scandals that rocked the Jubilee administration since 2013, saying it was time for Kenyans' new chapter.

"It is my appeal to the people of Kenya that we dedicate 2017 to the realisation of a clean, honest, competent, inclusive and caring government.''

According to him, Jubilee will be using the stolen proceeds to bribe Kenyans and some agencies, with intentions to be favoured in the August 8, polls.

"We need to be aware that Jubilee will use the money it has stolen to corrupt the electoral process, buy support and steal elections thereby creating a vicious cycle of a corrupt regime, stolen elections and another corrupt regime,'' he said.

He added: "We must stand up against the billionaires’ club. We can achieve it on August 8 following on the footsteps of nations like Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal and Gambia that have blazed this trail.''

In his new year message to Kenyans, the former premiere further wished Kenyans a successful 2017.

"Happy New Year and a Prosperous 2017 fellow Kenyans,'' he concluded.
