Published on January 5, 2020, Education Cabinet Secretary Dr George Magoha has asked Kenyans to stop glorifying corrupt individuals who are looting public funds.
Speaking at Chemelil Academy in Kisumu, Dr Magoha said toleration of those plundering the country is the reason Kenya is facing the problems it has today.
He pointed out the need for public officers to utilise funds prudently, saying, 'You do not need to use a helicopter, just go by road because if you can save so much money, another person will get something to use.'
Dr Magoha also advised the public to not be greedy and instead be satisfied with what they already have, saying, 'I am the wealthiest person in this country, my humble self, because my wealth is inside my heart.'
He encouraged students to explore various options, including taking up courses at technical and vocational training institutions, saying, 'Why would you commit suicide because you scored 320 marks? There is no limit to what you can do with your life.'
