Corruption is like a terminal disease in this country, and I would urge the Government to tackle this issue head on. When I talk of handling it head on, I know if you take a soldier to war and you do not give him enough ammunition and fire power, that soldier will be a sitting duck in the battle field. What I want to mean is that we have KACC, and it is high time we disbanded this institution if we cannot give it power, or teeth to do its job. I know if they are given enough power, we shall be able to do justice to corruption in this country and it will be a thing of the past, otherwise we should not continue using tax payers’ money and running this institution if it is not given power to perform its duties."}
