Widespread corruption at all levels of government remains the biggest threat to the 2010 Constitution, President William Ruto has cautioned.
He warned that Kenyans cannot enjoy the full fruits of the charter due to pervasive graft within the three arms of government, which has weakened institutions created by the document.
“It is a fact that corruption exists in all arms of government – the Executive, the Legislature, and the Judiciary, and each must confront this menace with honesty and resolve,” he said on Wednesday.
He was speaking at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Nairobi, during the commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution on August 27, 2010.
Recently, Ruto declared that the day would henceforth be marked annually as Katiba Day.
Present at the function were Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, Chief Justice Martha Koome, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, Attorney-General Dorcas Oduor, Chief of Defence Forces General Charles Kahariri, and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
