Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has warned officers who are aiding criminals to acquire government documents such as passports and IDs.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Eldoret State Lodge during a meeting with Regional Commissioners, Ruto said those engaging in corruption and other criminal activities are at risk of being prosecuted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people who are allowing criminals to acquire government documents such as passports and identity cards. Trust me, they will be arrested and prosecuted,” he said.<\/p>\n

The head of state said Kenyans want their taxes to be protected and used prudently, noting that he will not allow National Government Administration Officers to engage in politics but serve all Kenyans equally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have made that commitment to them and I will keep that promise. You must serve all Kenyans equally, that service does not include politics,” he noted.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Ruto maintained that his administration will not seek external funding to run its programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for this reason, I will not allow any public money to be stolen or misused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Present in the meeting were Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki and his Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo.<\/p>\n
