The Corrupt Should Face the Firing Squad – Speaker Muturi

Leaders looting the public coffers should face the firing squad, National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has said.

Speaking in Kajiado on Saturday, the Democratic Party presidential candidate said those found guilty of graft should be shot in public and the assets recovered by State.

Muturi said corruption has drained the country’s resources and denied Kenyans development.

“Lack of transparency and accountability has drained the country’s resources. It is sad that people are looting public coffers shamelessly and recklessly. At this rate, Kenya requires a dictatorship kind of leadership where justice is served promptly. It is high time that those involved in corruption were paraded at Uhuru Park, firing squad called, the culprits shot dead and the proceeds in their accounts reverted to public coffers,” he said.

He added, “It cannot be business as usual under Muturi-led government. If we must tame corruption, we ought to have dignified leaders who are transparent and accountable.”

Muturi also castigated leaders who are talking too much hence threatening the country’s peace and unity.

“It is so sad that some leaders have turned to be outrightly petty and disrespectful towards one another. Some are even too arrogant to an extent of attacking the president. Ironically, the same people preach unity and cohesion. This are the leaders spelling doom to our country,” he said.

As for Azimio la Umoja and Kenya Kwanza, the Speaker said both are filled with politicians whose pasts are tainted.

For this reason, he told the Maa leaders, he can not join either of the coalitions.

“I cannot join any political faction because both have leaders with corrupt history. If we want a Kenya for all we must embrace leaders of integrity,” he stated.

He also took on those against his presidency saying Kenyans have the last word on who will lead the country after the August 9 polls.

He said the notion that the presidential race is a two-horse race is nothing but hot air.

He compared himself to King David who triumphed over Goliath.
