President Ruto

Earlier this year the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions approved charges against the former governor, but he moved to court to stop his arrest pending the hearing of his petition.

Such nominations by President Ruto begs the question of whether his statements are mere rhetoric or genuine commitments to the fight against corruption.
