Azimio-One Kenya coalition party will declare corruption a threat to national security in the first 100 days should it form the next government.
Speaking when he launched his manifesto on Monday, Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga said he will establish a Corruption Surveillance Taskforce in the security forces within the first 100 days of being sworn in as the duly elected fifth President of Kenya.
He promised that the Azimio government will take the fight against corruption to the next level.
“Azimio government wants to face this dragon called corruption head-on to ensure that we can be able to do our things in a clean and fair manner. Kenya has a great potential. Kenya is a great country surrounded by neighbors with whom we want to work very closely with,” he stated.
Odinga said that it is only by fighting corruption that his government will get funds to finance projects like pledged free primary, secondary and university education, funding the manufacturing sector, agriculture, healthcare and support for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
