President William Ruto has announced an increase in the budgetary allocation to sectors combating corruption and promoting justice and accountability from Sh87 billion to Sh108 billion in the current financial year. Ruto noted that this is because the nation's economy and security and the people's rights and freedoms depend on it. "To support these efforts, we have increased budgetary allocations to sectors combating corruption, and promoting justice and accountability since the 2022-23 financial year, from Sh87 billion to Sh108 billion in the current financial year," Ruto said. The President emphasised that the government will not hesitate to make its contribution to the enhancement of sectors combating corruption, and promoting justice and accountability. Ruto noted that an independent judiciary, an effective executive, a progressive legislature, an open civil society, and a vigilant media are not mutually exclusive.
