After President Uhuru Kenyatta stating that the fight
against graft will not spare anyone including his closet allies, brothers, and
sisters, he is currently in Namibia and fed up with how his cabinet secretary
is handling concerns of Kenyans living in the diaspora.
Speaking at a public forum regarding concerns of Kenyans
living in the foreign country, the president has publicly torn down three
cabinet secretaries who accompanied him on the trip with harsh words directed
at their incompetence.
To CS Mwangi Kiunjuri of Agriculture he said, “I am looking
now at my brother Kiunjuri, he has just opened his notepad to write down what
am saying.He was not interested in noting down what these Kenyans are saying because
it had nothing to do with the ministry of agriculture…”
The next scolded cabinet secretary was Trade and Industrialization’s Peter Munya who was told, “ The same applies
to you Bwana Munya, you are just staring….”
CS Monica Juma of Trade and Industrialization was told, “ Monica
I will not say this again, we must agree on a system. We discussed it when we
were in France that we will start country by country registering Kenyans in
diaspora. We heard it in France, Dubai…Why should these people be made to pay
money, to fly to Kenya, just to get a passport in order to get back to work. ….
Everywhere we go it is the same issue, the same question. Monica, can we agree
that I will never hear this again in another diaspora meeting? Na mimi sitaki
maneno ingine…..”
Kenyatta is in Namibia for a 3-day work related tour and is expected
back in the country on Sunday March 24.
The President has been making headlines in mainstream and social media
conveying strong stands on graft in the country.
