Kenyan President William Ruto has maintained his commitment to fighting corrupt judges who reportedly accept bribes in order to halt his development program.
Judges in Kenya had condemned the country’s president for threatening to disobey court orders.
Ruto remains steadfast amid calls for an apology following his previous remarks targeting the Judiciary.
In a recent social media post, the President affirmed his dedication to eradicating corruption within the judicial system, brushing aside warnings from Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi and Paul Muite.
While acknowledging that there are honest judicial officers, the president insisted that no single cent should be used to bribe any officer.
According to him, the impunity of bribing judges so as not to derail, delay or sabotage Kenya’s imminent transformation will not happen under his watch.
President Ruto reiterated his position that corrupt officials in the country will be left with three choices: facing legal consequences, leaving the country, or seeking redemption in heaven.
He emphasized that no funds will be allocated for bribery, stating, “The fate of all corrupt individuals remains as I stated.”
Opposition leader Raila Odinga and Wiper Democratic Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka join the criticism, expressed concern about the President’s threats to the constitution he swore to protect when assuming office.
