President William Ruto has singled out vested interest and incompetent leadership in successive regimes as key impediments of development.
President Ruto added that corruption bedeviling the Executive, Legislature as well as Judiciary has derailed the country’s progress.
“Corruption anywhere in all arms of government must be dealt with,” he said during a groundbreaking ceremony of the affordable housing project in Nanyuki.
“Three things have held our country hostage and have led to the transformation of Kenya to be delayed. We must deal decisively with corruption, incompetent leadership and vested interest,” he explained.
The Head of State insisted corruption in the Judiciary will not impede government efforts to afford Kenyans employment, affordable houses and universal healthcare.
“We are going to provide the leadership that will transform the country. We are going to deal with vested interest that’s sabotaging our progress,” Ruto said.
President Ruto has repeatedly accused state officers who have benefitted from the previous regime of working to sabotage key policies in his government.
