President Uhuru Kenyatta and Cord leader Raila Amolo Odinga are hiding corrupt leaders in their camps for the sake of rising to power.
Both Uhuru and Raila are surrounded by corrupt leaders but they have not made a point of asking them to leave their side.
The two leaders have also not been CLEAR on how they will deal with corrupt leaders supporting their bids, financing their campaigns and other big fish, as PLO would call them.
The two have only been telling Kenyans they will not tolerate corruption but they have not place guidelines on how they will address looters. It is evident that President Kenyatta has not done much when it comes to the fight against this vice since he took over leadership following the last general election. It is perturbing that he has also not outlined clearly how he will recover lost funds if re-elected.
Raila has also said that he will not jail Uhuru or Ruto if he ascends to power without rethinking about the pain Kenyans have gone through since they duo took over power.
As much as he will not arrest them, Raila cannot tell Kenyans that he will entertain criminals by teaching them good governance if his words are anything to go by. The cord leader has been quick to defend leaders aligned to the National Super Alliance (NASA) where the loss of funds is involved.
Furthermore, President Uhuru Kenyatta and Cord leader Raila Amolo Odinga pretend to be good friends but they are not. The opposition leader and the president have been exchanging bitter words for the last five years since Jubilee took over leadership. Raila has not sincerely appreciated any project initiated by the current government. How does he expect leaders aligned to Jubilee to appreciate his projects if he ascends to power in August?
