President William Ruto has said his resolve to fight corruption in the country is unstoppable, insisting that the corrupt must tear the line or be punished.
Speaking on Wednesday at the Kakamega State Lodge during a consultative meeting with Western Kenya leaders led by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula., he noted that Kenya has suffered immensely due to corruption, theft and wastage of public resources.
“We cannot continue to entertain this. We need a lasting break. All thieves must stop their acts.”
He warned those who use politics and courts to protect thieves that their time is up.
“There is no place for such people. Change, leave Kenya or go to jail.”

Further, the President added that these are not threats but a call for action, saying he was shocked that anybody in Kenya could protect corruption.
“We cannot afford to defend what has made Kenya go backward.”
The Head of State also told the Opposition to stop wasting their time defending thieves.
The President maintained that it is time Kenya led from the front in decency, pledging to take the fight to the sugar sector that cartels dog.
“We will sort out the entire sugar sector because we are spending a lot of money to import sugar,” he explained.
He argued that the Government will revive the industry “so that we can produce locally and help drive our economy”.
He proposed the setting up of more sugarcane mills to support the existing ones in production.
