According to Ruto, the Fund will give the Judiciary financial independence, offering its teeth to work impartially.
“We do not want them to be managed or be a subject of manipulation. We want a Judiciary that serves all Kenyans justly,” he said.
The second in command was speaking at the Village Market in Nairobi County during a meeting with the European Business Council Kenya, an umbrella outfit of business associations drawn from 17 European countries.
Ruto said he will build and empower independent institutions that are charged with the fight against corruption.
“It [the Handshake] eliminated the Opposition, and any form of oversight,” he explained.
Through the Handshake, he argued, big-time corruption was born in Kenya.
Ruto noted that he was committed to institutionalizing and constitutionalizing the Opposition as a “weak Opposition nourishes a rogue Government”.
“This will be the sure way to end corruption in our country,” Ruto said.
He assured the business community that this year’s elections will be peaceful. “Violence will no longer be part of our political equation.”
