Nairobi: Former Kenyan president Deniel Arap Moi, who ruled the country in 1978-2002, has urged the people the help the government in controlling corruption which has of late been consuming most of the public resources. He said, “You know corruption is bad . . . I am appealing to all Christians to help the government eliminate this bad thing.” He decided to air his grievances at the church service that he had attended ahead of the by -election that was set to happen at Kericho. His son, Gideon Moi has been going head-on with the URP leader, Hon William Ruto over the leadership of the Rift.
Moi also said that the senior officials in the government should help in ensuring that corruption is removed at every level of the economy. “If you are senior government official, please help in stopping this bad thing that is giving the government a bad image,” Moi added.
The retired president has been taking rest at his Kabarak home, taking his time off politics to develop his home and business. He never commented on the Kericho by-election saying the Sunday visit was meant for prayers.
