A National Anti-Corruption Conference will be held in Nairobi next month, NASA leader Raila Odinga has said.
Raila on Friday said the conference will allow stakeholders and wananchi to share views on how to fight corruption.
"People will speak. We shall listen and action will be taken," Raila said.
He said the conference is as a result of recommendations by the 14-man team that was formed after the handshake between him and President Uhuru Kenyatta in March.
"I met with the President, we agreed that this problem must be combated and culprits made to account for their sins," he said.
Raila said the three-day conference will be used to collect views from the public which will enhance making resolutions to intensify the war on graft.
He said corruption has crippled every department of government and the vice has become an impediment to the growth of the economy.
Raila was speaking at Gechauri village in Nyamira County during the funeral of the Late George Ndemo Nyagarama son to Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama.
He said the war on corruption is unstoppable and that it will go on until it is defeated.
"We can't be running to our communities whenever we are told to account for the wealth we acquired illegally and start saying that we are being targeted", he said.
