"Let President Ruto first search himself and his cabinet for such characters," Karua said.

Narc Kenya Leader Martha Karua has fired back at President William Ruto after declaring war with the corrupt.

The Narc Kenya leader while responding to the President's tough talk on Sugar cartels insinuated that as he vows to fight the corrupt, a number of such people were within his circles.

Karua told the President to first crack the whip on his close officials before going after the rest.

"Let President Ruto first search himself and his cabinet for such characters, unless of course there are licensed thieves of public resources," Karua said.

Ruto has recently declared war with the corrupt saying he will crush anyone used to stealing public resources.

President William Ruto has vowed to deal with the corrupt.

He said that Kenya will no longer give room to those who use politics to loot Kenyan resources maintaining that they have only three options.

"We can never continue to entertain corruption, theft and wastage of public resources in whatever nature. We cannot continue to entertain those. Those who are used to stealing public resources, those using politics to protect the corrupt and thieves and theft; there will be no place for those people," Ruto said.

He maintained that the corrupt and thieves only have three options in Kenya; leave Kenya, go to jail or go to heaven.

He added that he was not threatening anyone with his bold clarification saying that the corrupt must be dealt with decisively.

"It is not a threat... I have not threatened anyone. It is what we will do."
