President Uhuru Kenyatta has talked strongly against corruption saying the vice has the potential to both undermine his Big Four agenda and completely destroy the country.
He said time was up for those engaging in the vice and warned they will face justice. The president spoke at the 8th Presidential Round Table Forum on Thursday at State House, which brought together both government and partners from the private alliance under the umbrella of KEPSA (Kenya Private Sector Alliance).
“We must address the real elephant in the room. We must say enough is enough for the country to move forward,” said President Kenyatta while making his remarks at the forum.
He called for a multi-sectoral approach to deal with corruption incorporating the private and public sectors as well as the judiciary and the legislature.
“Time for politicking is behind us. We must clean and move the country forward,” he said.
He added: “I have had an opportunity to work with wonderful and dedicated men and women full of integrity. But some are not prepared to change.”
He said it was time for Kenyans to be blunt and honest with one another especially when things go wrong.
“We are all to blame. But we must now say enough is enough and move forward”, said the president.
