House Majority Leader, Aden Duale.

By: Abdirahman Khalif

NAIROBI—The war against corruption must continue relentlessly and culprits held accountable Aden Duale, the National Assembly Majority Leader said.

Mr Duale, who addressed the media at Parliament on Tuesday, said the National Assembly has made a commitment and will not sit back as public funds are looted by selfish individuals.

“The investigative authorities as established under the Constitution have the mandate to go full swing and have those implicated in the graft face justice in court,” Duale stated.

This comes amid Public Service and Youth Affairs Principal Secretary Ms Lillian Mbogo and National Youth Service Director- General Mr Richard Ndubai among others were arraigned in court over the loss of Sh9 billion from the NYS coffers.

Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji had said he has enough evidence to nail the 54 suspects set over the Sh9 billion NYS scandal.

According to Haji, his office has sealed all the loopholes that have led to the collapse of previous corruption cases in which several individuals accused of stealing billions in taxpayers’ money get acquitted for lack of evidence.

The Garissa township legislator  pleaded with the investigative agencies, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the auditor-general as well as the DPP to be professional in their work “if this country has to realize meaningful development.”
