    "content": "Moving forward, issues of corruption must be dealt with according to the law. We must be able to look at how best we can handle them. Our own institutions –DCI, DPP and EACC must be seen to fight corruption without discrimination. When we see the DCI, DPP and the EACC being selective in the application of the law, then we will be failing in the fight against corruption. When you see some other governors being told that they cannot step into their offices when they are being charged while others continue doing their duties as if nothing has happened, then that becomes selective application of the law. For the DCI, EACC and DPP to assist the President in the fight against corruption, they must apply the law impartially. They must not just look at few files and say: “This is what we can attend to. This one can be hidden under the desk and wait for another time.” Any file that appears before the DPP or the DCI must be acted upon. We see so many cases of corruption. We see them in the counties and every sector in this country. You can actually state what is happening in each county. It is common knowledge that corruption cases are rampant, especially in the counties although some Governors are walking scot-free. Some county executive members and other officers engage in corruption activities and are walking scot-free. We want to make sure that every Kenyan understands that the law is applicable equally among all its citizens. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
