Published on September 28, 2019, Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi has pledged to prioritize the fight against corruption if elected President in 2022.
Mudavadi, who spoke to Kenyans living in Springfield, Massachusetts in the US, emphasized the need for the right leadership to tackle corruption and create jobs.
"Corruption is rife, unemployment is high and our national debt has skyrocketed, but there is hope. We can turn it around, we can do something to create jobs, we can reduce our public debt to manageable levels, we can do it by making sure that the right leadership is in place," Mudavadi said.
He revisited the Goldenberg scandal, saying it was a hallmark of his fight against corruption and fraud, and reiterated his whistle blower role in the scandal, which led to the closure of a network of banks involved in the fraud.
Mudavadi pledged to run a government that adheres to the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution on leadership and integrity if elected to office.
