President Uhuru Kenyatta has asked youth to play an active role in the ongoing war against corruption.
Speaking at Kisii School during the International Youth Day celebrations, Uhuru said that youth should do all it takes to root out corruption including carrying out citizen's arrest.
The President said that youth should forward corruption cases to the authorities regardless of whom is concerned.
"Youth must be at the forefront. Even if it's your father who is engaging in corrupt practice, you should be able to speak out against it.
"Whether it's a police officer, MCA or an MP any other leader, carry out a citizen's arrest and hand them into the police," the President stated.
He maintained that Kenyans should come together and fight graft.
"Nobody should intimidate you in this war just because they have a lot of money. If you successfully carry out the arrests, the wealth they own illegally will be repatriated to the thepublic kitty. The power is in your hands to end this vice(corruption) in our country. You must take it up.Msiogope mtu (Don't fear anyone)," he stated.
Speaking in Nairobi early Sunday, Uhuru said that he was ready to lose friends in the war against corruption.
