Machakos governor Dr. Alfred Mutua has called on the
national government to incorporate graft in Kenyan school curriculum.
According to the Machakos county boss incorporating
the subject in schools will expose learners to the effects of corruption at early
stage.
“Introducing this subject in schools will ensure
that learners understand its effects at an early age” the governor said
Dr Mutua argued that for the country to thrive in
all areas democracy must be upheld.
Addressing over four hundred secondary schools heads
from Machakos County in Mombasa county on Tuesday Dr Mutua also urged religious leaders to
spearhead the war on graft.
“It is ironical that the same religious leaders
singing hymns in places of worship receive corruptly acquired money. They should
fight this war” Dr Mutua noted
According to him, he ironically says the same
religious leaders who should spearhead the war against graft, are the same leaders
accepting (it) graft in their places of worship.
He is accusing some religious leaders of watering
down efforts by the government to combat the war on corruption.
“These religious leaders should be at the fore front
in this war. Again you school principals should not at all be involved in this
game” he stated
Dr Mutua further called on Kenyans to support President
Kenyatta’s bid to wipe out graft in public coffers.
In his quest for the top sit come 2022, the Machakos
county boss says there is to inject new blood in Kenyan presidency.
“Let’s support President Uhuru Kenyatta’s efforts in
waging this war against corruption” he pointed out
He argues that Kenya as a country needs a more
youthful president who will spur the country to greater heights of development
Dr Mutua cites youth unemployment and economic depression
as some of the thorny issues that need critical attention.
“We need to pump in new blood in this country. Some of
our leaders have been in power for all those years.it our time now” he said
According to him the government has not fully
addressed the issue of unemployment among the youths.
He says there is need for the government to sort out
the economic crisis if the life of Kenyans is to be improved.
“The issue of unemployment should be addressed
amicably. Again our economy has never risen for a long time, this is also one
of the critical issues that need to be addressed” he noted
Mutua accused a section of political leaders showing
interest in the 2022 presidency and have been in power for a couple of decades.
