President Uhuru Pledges to Fight Closest Political Ally

President Uhuru Kenyatta has renewed his commitment to fighting corruption and cement his legacy. 

Speaking to Kenyans living in Namibia at Windhoek Country Club on Thursday evening, he reassured that there were no sacred cows in the graft fight. 

"If you are corrupt we will fight you. You can be my brother or my sister or my closest political ally but if you are corrupt we will fight you," the president pledged. 

He added, "I won't be clouded by ethnicity or status in my quest to leave behind a united nation and I will continue championing for Kenya's unity."

The Head of State assured that every effort will be made to bring back integrity to the public service. 

Uhuru noted that Kenya has great potential but there is need to change practices that hinder the country from achieving progress.

Medical School Dean at the University of Namibia, Prof Peter Nyarango, told the president that Kenya's education system should be geared towards enabling youth to be employable in a changing world. 

Uhuru responded that the country had already embarked on making changes to the curriculum to meet the emerging needs. 

The president also addressed concerns about the frustrating attempts to secure travel documentation.

 He directed relevant government agencies to come up with mechanisms of ensuring that Kenyans in the diaspora are issued with the new generation passports in their countries of residence.
