Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has warned state officials who misuse public resources for personal gains.
The DP said the Kenya Kwanza administration will stop at nothing to make sure that the law takes its course, should anyone be found culpable.
He insisted that misappropriating public funds meant to put in place infrastructure to help poor Kenyans attracts curses.
“It is a curse to use public funds for personal benefits. It is a curse because of the cry of poor people who cannot access medicine and die because of things, which would have been prevented. That cry reaches out to God.
“As we wait for God’s judgement, we have the constitution and the law. We will make sure we use all means to protect public resources. To those used to stealing public resources, your days are numbered,” Kindiki said.
The Deputy President added that he is fully in support of President William Ruto’s efforts that seeks to ensure public resources are protected.
Kindiki further noted that public resources must only be channelled towards setting up amenities that make the lives of Kenyans easy and comfortable at all times.
“I am fully behind the president in ensuring we protect the resources of the people of Kenya. We want the resources of the people of Kenya to be used to build hospitals, schools, roads and the needs of the people and God will bless us as a nation.”
The DP spoke at Jesus Palace of Praise Church in Mwatate, Taita Taveta County, where he had attended a Sunday Worship and Thanksgiving Service.
In his remarks, he noted that the economic situation in the country is better than it was when they came into office.
Kindiki was accompanied by MPs Lydia Haika (Woman Representative, Taita Taveta County), Peter Shake (Mwatate), John Bwire (Taveta), Danson Mwashako (Wundanyi), Carolyne Ng'elechei (Woman Representative, Elgeyo Marakwet County), John Kiarie 'KJ' (Dagoretti South), Nimrod Mbai (Kitui East) and Geoffrey Ruku (Mbeere North).
A host of MCAs and County leaders were also present.
