Corruption is the biggest barrier to sustainable economic growth in Kenya, UK Deputy High Commissioner to Kenya Susie Kitchens has said.

The diplomat who visited Kajiado yesterday said graft undermines the country’s prosperity. ‘’Unless fully dealt with, corruption will continue undermining Kenya’s long term progress and those responsible should be prosecuted,’’ she said.
