Majority of Kenyans think that President Uhuru Kenyatta cannot fight corruption, a new poll reveals. In the Sauti ya Wananchi poll released on Friday, 82 per cent of Kenyans think Uhuru will not succeed in his intention to focus on fighting corruption during his final five years in office. Others noted that many of those who have been convicted of corruption were later freed (15 per cent) and that the President himself promotes corruption (per cent). Last year, President Uhuru Kenyatta for the first time said he wanted the renewed fight against graft to be his legacy. Since the president took office in 2013 and was later re-elected in 2017, he has been grappling with the fight against corruption.
