Former PS John Githongo yesterday urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to deal with runaway corruption.
Githongo said Health and Education are most affected.
“We’d like to see a situation where corruption doesn’t affect service delivery to the poor,” he said. Githongo said poor Kenyans are denied quality healthcare by corrupt officials.
He urged Uhuru to rein in corruption by prosecuting all senior officials implicated in graft and have lost public trust. He spoke during the opening of the two-day National Conference on Integrity at Desmond Tutu Conference Centre in Westlands, Nairobi. “We’ve made some progress on paper but in practice we’ve gone backwards. Over the next two days we’ll find out why we have that divergence,” Githongo said. He said tribal mobilisation during elections makes people forget integrity and vote along tribal lines.
