Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has said the Kenya Kwanza government is determined to fight impunity, greed and corruption.

He identified the acts as the ills afflicting the country today.

Mudavadi said the vices have for long stagnated the country's development and it is now time to confront them head-on.

"We are prepared to deal with impunity, greed and corruption. These are our biggest enemies as a nation. At the administrative level we have initiated a conversation that will see these vices eradicated,” he said.

He added that the plan being laid out by President William Ruto for operations in government is a sign of how determined the Kenya Kwanza administration is working to ensure that all loopholes are sealed.

Mudavadi further noted that Ruto's administration is determined to ensure that all state officers lead by example.

“For those of us who hold public office, we should always remember and keep it on top of our minds that we are servants of the people. The days of conmanship while serving in the public spheres are long gone.”

The Prime CS insisted that Kenyans are keenly watching, and are determined in the quest to transform the trajectory of the country’s prosperity.

On Sunday, Mudavadi who had accompanied Ruto for an inter-denominational thanksgiving service in Bomet said impunity was slowly gaining currency around the world and it needs to be nipped in the bud.

He noted that it is also being normalised in established democracies where election losers are refusing to accept the will of the people and instead are resorting to violence to grab or retain power.

Mudavadi gave a case of the raid on the Brazilian Parliament two weeks ago by supporters of immediate former President Jair Bolsonaro,

The January 6, 2021 attack on the US Congress by followers of former President Donald Trump as well as the storming of Bomas of Kenya on August 15 last year by Azimio La Umoja adherents bent on preventing the electoral agency from announcing the results of that year's presidential election.

He said such acts are a regrettable assault on democracy which should not be allowed to grow further roots.

"We should allow what happened in Brazil, the U.S Capitol or Bomas of Kenya to become the norm," Mudavadi said.
