NAIROBI, KENYA: The Opposition now wants President Uhuru Kenyatta to dissolve his Cabinet over claims that at least 30 percent of the current Cabinet Secretaries were embroiled in corruption scandals.
Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) co-principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula also called for the immediate resignation of Cabinet Secretary for Treasury Henry Rotich and his Principal Secretary Kamau Thugge.
Speaking in response to President Uhuru Kenyatta's latest onslaught against runaway graft that has robbed Kenyans billions of shillings, the Opposition leaders accused the Head of State of lack of political goodwill in the fight against corruption.
"Mr President, one third of the Cabinet is currently embroiled in corruption scandals. As Opposition, we have enough material to put into question the integrity of at least another 1/3rd of the Cabinet Secretaries," said the statement read by the former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka.
