Former President Mwai Kibaki has challenged leaders to remain truthful to their pledges to the public to avoid embarrassment when put to task.

"I know there are some leaders who have the habit of making wild pledges and when the public demands responsibility, they quickly deny having made such promises," said Kibaki.
