When he came into power, president Uhuru promised to fight corruption which has now become a cancer in this country. Corruption has robbed this country of its fortunes, the misery is palpable – Kenya is a failing state . Armed with these ideologies, President Uhuru refused to set up his office in Harambee house which has earned a bad name due to corruption impunity.
When you mention the name Harambee house… corruption, impunity and negligence immediately pops up in many Kenyans minds .
Harambee house has had a sea of accusations. A good one is this one that was in the Business Daily Africa.
Senior Internal Security ministry officials used a secret account at National Bank of Kenya to siphon billions in taxpayers’ money from public coffers in the run-up to last year’s General Election.President Uhuru Kenyatta has personally admitted the existence of powerful cartels in government, including his office, who he accuses of working at the behest of shadowy investors to fleece the taxpayer.
