Sack more CSs on
corruption allegations, Two MPs tells President Kenyatta.
PRESIDENT Uhuru Kenyatta has been told to roll his sleeves
and send packing all those Cabinet Secretaries who have been implicated on
corruption allegations.
Two Members of Parliament says it is high time President
Kenyatta act promptly by firing all the alleged corrupt Cabinet Secretaries
whose names have adversely been mentioned on various cases of corruption.
Addressing the residents of Nyando Constituency today during
the Graduation ceremony of twenty students at Nyando Tailored in Love, Nyando
Member of Parliament Jared Okello and his Mathare Counterpart Antony Oluoch
have said time has come when the President must now act on the issue of
corruption that has bedeviled a number of sectors of economy.
The two are of the opinion that President Kenyatta should
include fight against Corruption as one of the Big Agenda in the country,
adding that it should be named agenda five after the Big four Agenda of
President Kenyatta.
“One of the things which will make the legacy of President
Uhuru Kenyatta to come true is the fight against corruption in the country and
the President should have put the fight against corruption as his top agenda
alongside the Big Four Agenda,” the two MPs say.
The two lawmakers say the President should now walk the talk
and take the bull by its horn on issues of corruption in the country.
On the issue of alleged corruption on the construction of
the two dams in Rift Valley, the two legislators say the Deputy President
William Ruto should have not commented on the matter by saying only shs 7
billion is the one disappeared and not sh 21billion.
They say Kenyans want to know why the DP was quick to react
and defend the issue even before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations
Director George Kinoti’s office complete investigations into the matter.
“Why are some of these leaders aggrieved by this issue of
corruption in the two dams construction within rift valley even to the extent
of defending it,” they add.
They say all the Cabinet Secretaries who have been deemed to
be behind the corruption on the issue of the two dams must be sacked to pave
way for investigations into the matter.
They add that the issue of firing the immediate former
Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa, the two leaders have dismissed it in
its entirety claiming that it has nothing to do with the fight against corruption
in the country.
They say Echesa’s sacking was long overdue, claiming that
he was inept and very incompetent thus could not perform in the ministry.
“We don’t believe that the sacking of Rashid Echesa as the CSs in charge of Sports and Culture that has
happened today constitute the kind of cracking of whips that Kenyans are
looking for as far as the fight of corruption is concerned in the country,”
they add.
