The fight against corruption should not be selective, Jubilee party activist says.

THE Ongoing fight against corruption in the country should not be done selectively while targeting only a few individuals, Jubilee Party activist has said.

Nyanza regional Coordinator for Jubilee Party Odhiambo Liete says the current fight against the vice in the country seems to be targeting only a few individuals.

Speaking to this writer today, Liete said the fight against corruption should not take political dimension where politics is seen taking a center stage then it is not a good move at all.

Liete says the fight against the vice should begin at the office of the President, deputy President and all the offices, adding that it should also cascade to the county Governments’ level and should not target only a few people.

Liete says the buck stops with the Head of the State as far as the fight corruption is concerned, adding that the President must be firm against the fight on the vice and remain neutral while ensuring that no sacred cow is spared.

“The fight against corruption in the country seems to be targeting certain individuals and this should not be the case as it should be a pure fight against the vice. It should be done as Kenyans so as to win against the fight on corruption,” Liete says.

The Jubilee party official in Nyanza is of the opinion that the President should be very keen if he wants to leave a good legacy hence the need to be firm on the fight against corruption.

He urges the President to be aware of cartels that help in perpetuating corruption, adding that such cartels should be dismantled at all cost if the fight against the vice to be won.

Liete says that all the personal Assistants to all Government officers should too be investigated as far as the issue of the fight against corruption is concerned in the country, claiming that they seems to be the ones doing "dirty" deals.

“The Personal Assistants working for their bosses should be investigated because they seems to know a lot happening which their bosses may not know,” Liete says.

He urges President Kenyatta to work hand in hand with his deputy President Dr. William Ruto so as to realize the Big Four Agenda which should be a priority alongside fighting corruption in the country.

Liete says the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Director George Kinoti and Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji to steer the fight against corruption without being swayed by any politician.

Liete at the same time urged both President Kenyatta and his Deputy Dr. William Ruto to work together towards building this country to be cohesive.

“The President and his Deputy were re-elected so as to ensure that Kenyans have development, have peace among other good things. The two should talk in one voice with an aim of uniting the country,” Liete adds.
