All persons working for the government with questionable academic credentials will be shown the door, President William Ruto has assured Kenyans.
The head of state disclosed Thursday that a basic audit of people working for the government, conducted recently, revealed that the country has 2,100 people with fake certificates.
He warned that his administration will not allow such levels of impunity to continue promising to lead the fight to confront the monster of corruption head-on. And he says efforts to rid the country of impunity will happen both at the national government and the counties.
“Those who have earned money using fake certificates should refund us our public money,” he said “Isn’t it equivalent to obtaining by false pretense?” posed Ruto
The President reiterated; “Those who are in government offices today with fake certificates they should leave. They should resign and go away and look for money to pay us public resources that they have earned falsely,”
President Ruto, attending the National Wage Bill Conference, acknowledged that the war would not be easy but promised to stay the course notwithstanding the political repercussions.
“We must do what we must do. I intend to do it. And I am ready to take the consequences. I am already Zakayo so there is no problem. I don’t mind names, so long as we get the country where it should go,” he said
