Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has praised President Uhuru Kenyatta over his recent measures to curb corruption in different ministries.
Speaking during a funeral in Transmara West, Narok county, Sonko said the head of state deserved credit for his commitment to end the vice in the nation.
His remarks come just days after several officials were arrested over the loss of Sh9 billion in the National Youth Service.
“The Nairobi Governor has been able to seal all corruption loop-holes at the City Hall, something that has not gone down well with the cartels. In Nairobi things have been tough because of these cartels, but we have managed to stop them. President Uhuru should also not allow these corrupt individuals to walk scot-free,” he said.
He also urged other leaders to follow the footsteps of the President in the fight against corruption.
The county boss further asked leaders to unite Kenyans after the long electioneering period that saw President Uhuru’s win nullified in 2017.
“It is time we should embrace each other and have more of these handshakes. Let’s focus on serving Kenyans despite our political differences and boundaries,” he said.
The burial was attended by different high-ranking politicians including Narok governor Samuel Tunai, Ledama Ole Kina (Narok Senator), Senator Moses Wetangula, Charles Sunkuli, Environment PS and the former Kenyan ambassador to China Julius Sunkuli,
