I expect now that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission will use its teeth to investigate the individuals who have stepped aside, without any hindrance.

If a country has to take a break in order to pray, that country is in a lot of problems.

If it a case of abuse of office then the proper thing to do is to appoint a tribunal not a criminal prosecution. We are going to fight it because the whole thing is politically motivated.

If you are accused of impropriety, you ought to permit your own investigation without sitting in the office where the impropriety may have occurred.
