On August 25, 2019, President Kenyatta spoke at the burial of Kenyan singer John De'Mathew in Murang'a County, vowing to recover all looted public funds.

With no intention of seeking reelection, Kenyatta stated that his loyalty is to the people of Kenya, and he will not be swayed by personal relationships when pursuing corrupt individuals.

"We shall keep that vow because I personally have no friends other than the people of Kenya," Kenyatta said.

He emphasized that the culture of unbridled corruption will end, and he will continue to pursue those involved, warning them that they must return public money.
