“We must build institutions that have the capacity to investigate corruption, theft of public resources, state capture and conflict of interest from any state official. There are countries that take their presidents to court because of corruption and we must take our country to that level,” Said Ruto in a statement. He also added that his administration will deal with everyone including the President when it comes to corruption related matters.
The deputy also said that the Azimio One Kenya Coalition has no proper measures to stop corruption in the country.
“There is no reason why the budget for the investigating authorities is in the Office of the President because it limits their capacity on whom to investigate. They have to look at who is related to who and how. We want them to have financial independence so that they can investigate everybody, including any official, irrespective of who you are related to or irrespective of what office you hold, including the President himself,” Ruto said during the interview.
