Deputy President William Ruto has claimed that Kenya could have lost nearly half a trillion shillings in the last ten years to ‘budgeted corruption’ run by opaque institutions. The DP on Thursday told Americans that the war on corruption in Kenya is subjective and merely a political tool targeting opponents to choreograph the next dispensation. Today you have close to Sh100 billion budgeted every year that has no oversight in opaque institutions," Ruto said. This was the first time that Ruto openly spoke about his anti-corruption strategy, a topic he has always dodged while in Kenya. "This is because there are people who want to continue using the war against corruption as a political tool against their opponents."
