President William Ruto has reiterated his stance on dealing with the corruption menace affirming it's either jail, deportation, or heaven for the corrupt individuals.
Speaking in Kakamega County on Wednesday, August 30, the Head of State noted that Kenya had suffered immensely because of corruption and theft.
“We cannot continue to entertain this. We need a lasting break. All thieves must stop their acts.
"The thieves and corrupt individuals must leave Kenya, or go to jail or they have the option of going to heaven. I have not threatened anybody, it is the truth, and what we will do," Ruto stated.
The President warned those who use politics and courts to protect thieves that their time is up.

The Head of State pledged to take the fight to the sugar sector that is dogged by cartels.
“We will sort out the entire sugar sector because we are spending a lot of money to import sugar,” he explained.
He argued that the Government would revive the industry “so that we could produce locally and help drive our economy”.
The President proposed the setting up of more sugarcane mills to support the existing ones in production.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha, Governors Fernandes Barasa (Kakamega), Paul Otuoma (Busia), Wilber Ottichilo (Vihiga), Ken Lusaka (Bungoma), UDA Secretary-General Cleophas Malala, COTU Secretary-General Francje Atwoli, MPs, MCAs and grassroots leaders were also present.
