Deputy President (DP) Prof. Kithure Kindiki has warned that the government will persecute state officials who misuse public funds for personal gains.
“It is a curse to use public funds for personal benefits. It is a curse because of the cry of poor people who cannot access medicine and die will haunt you,” he said.
The DP, who was speaking in Taita Taveta, said that the funds are meant to set up amenities to make the lives of Kenyans easier.
“As we wait for God’s judgement, we have the constitution and the law. We will make sure we use all means to protect public resources. To those used to stealing public resources, your days are numbered,” Kindiki said.
The DP said the economic situation in the country was better compared to 2022.
“Inflation is now at 2.7%, the lowest in 17 years. This is the result of the heavy lifting, hard work and progressive economic transformation policies initiated by President Ruto. Progressively, the Government is resolving the economic challenges and improving the livelihoods of our people by boosting their household incomes,” he said.
