Corruption is taking a worrying trend as next year’s General Election approaches, Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has warned.

In reference to recent mega corruption cases, the CJ urged those in authority to act decisively against the vice because it will have a bearing on the national elections.  Another important aspect that will determine the success of the exercise, Justice Mutunga noted, is the Treasury.
