Uhuru is not corrupt- Moi

                                     

Kanu national chairman Senator Gideon Moi has defended President Uhuru Kenyatta against corruption allegations.

Gideon, who is also the Baringo senator, said he knows the President at a personal level and is confident that Mr Kenyatta is not corrupt. Instead, Gideon laid the blame on corruption on the doorsteps of unnamed personalities around the presidency.

Speaking at Oledeem Village in Narok North Constituency during a thanksgiving ceremony for the newly-elected ACK Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit, Gideon said Uhuru means well for the country.

“Uhuru is a good President who means well for this country. I have grown up with him and he is my friend. He is not a thief but those around him are the problem,” Gideon said.

The senator, who shared a podium with CORD co-principal Raila Odinga and former KNC party leader Peter Kenneth, congratulated the archbishop on his election saying that his position was an indication that the Maa community can even clinch the presidency.

Speaking at the same function, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga criticised the Jubilee Administration over corruption saying the government was combative on criticism over corruption.

“This Jubilee government has eaten too much. It is high time Kenyans took their Identification Cards and voters’ cards to send them home. We also want the Mau issue resolved soon and we shall not relent on this,” Raila said.
