Former Presidential hopeful evangelist Reuben Kigame has suggested seven ways the government can use to fight and end corruption.

He said the proposal can also help to improve Kenya's economy.

In a statement on Saturday, Kigame said President William Ruto should exclude looters from his government.

He further advised that Kenya needs to reduce the size and spending of the government.

"To fight and end graft we are witnessing in this country, the government needs to deal with procurement abuse, lower taxes and recover debt money," he said.

The televangelist added that the country should recover stolen funds, clean the Judiciary and jail thieves.

His sentiments come hot on the heels of President William Ruto's tough talk on fighting corruption.

Ruto warned that all public officers facilitating corruption will face the law.

"Corruption enterprise has to come to an end. We will deal with them firmly. A few people cannot stop us. We will pay the price to stop the vice,” Ruto said.

"Mambo ni matatu; wahame Kenya, waende jela ama wasafiri mbinguni."

He warned the corrupt that they would no longer hide in courts with court orders.

This is even as he declared war on sugar cartels and corrupt judges in the judiciary.

The President accused some judicial officers of working in cahoots with cartels to advance what he described as an "illegal agenda".

Ruto said he is now ready to crush the cartels in totality together with their accomplices.

"There are people in our judicial system who are facilitating corruption by working with the corrupt. That is why certain cases go to certain judges because they are part of the corruption enterprise and the corruption industry in Kenya," he said.

"I want to tell you, all these collaborators we will deal with them firmly and decisively," he said.
