President William Ruto reaffirmed his determination to close all corruption loopholes in his administration to keep his commitments to Kenyans.
Ruto remarked that dishonest public officials have no place in his government and should be dismissed if they do not reform while laying the foundation stone for the Anglican Church Grand Cathedral in Kiambu Town.

He told corrupt leaders they have two choices: change or leave the country. The President emphasized that he will not accept individuals who squander government monies and abuse the mandate conferred upon them by the Kenyan electorate.
"The sword, the constitution, and even the anointing were all given to me." This sword will be used to slice corrupt people. "I will not spare them," he stated emphatically.
"Let everyone pay their taxes, and when they do, please question me, because you are the ones who have asked."
This comes amid the president's plea for his cabinet to roll up their sleeves and serve with diligence and integrity to help him achieve his ambitious objective to better Kenyans' lives.
On August 1, Ruto pledged to halt the cycle of unfulfilled vows and curb the history of presidents participating in graft while signing performance contracts in the State House.
He argued that for too long, politicians have used their positions of power and influence to make false promises to Kenyans and to use them as conduits to drain money for personal advantage.
"I had a heart-to-heart with my cabinet, and I want to do the same with the rest of the government bureaucracy, from PSs to directors." It's going to be different from business. I promised the Kenyan people that there would be no money to steal. "There is only money to deliver on Kenyans' projects and aspirations," he remarked.
