CS Kuria’s Game-Changing Strategy to Expose Corrupt Officials!
Thursday, Moses Kuria, cabinet secretary for public service, declared that the ministry will begin publishing the identities of corrupt individuals in January 2024.
Ahead of the Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC) Huduma Ombudsman Awards. Kuria disclosed that his strategy will dissuade Kenyan citizens from offering bribes to government officials.
According to Kuria, he will hold a monthly press conference to divulge the identities of civil servants who have been accused of corruption.
“We will tell you, this officer asked for this amount. This police station is corrupt and so much more,” he warned.
Government institutions, county governments, and law enforcement agencies, such as the National Police Service and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), will be subject to the exposé.
According to his argument, a subset of Kenyans had been driven to despair by corrupt government officials. To the point where some were contemplating suicide. He reaffirmed that his primary objective is to facilitate universal access to government services for all Kenyans.
“We will have to name and shame people who are denying Kenyans justice through delayed service, misuse of power, and other forms,” he remarked.
Nevertheless, he exhorted Kenyans to report all instances of corruption. They should do this via the numerous online platforms at their disposal to eradicate the vice.
