Things that DP Ruto want exposed in government

Deputy President William Ruto yesterday demanded that directors of all firms doing business with the government be published in 30 days.

Aiming his gun at big names controlling public tenders, the DP wants the National Treasury to compile and make public the companies for public scrutiny.

“I want to ask the Treasury to forward the list of the parastatals and government departments that have failed to comply with the directive so that we can take on the boards and CEOs. It’s not a request the President was making. It is an order to be implemented,” Ruto said.

The DP was addressing the media, government officials, diplomats, development partners, and civil society groups on open governance at a Nairobi hotel yesterday. His remarks come after his close allies alleged that the war on corruption led by President Uhuru Kenyatta was targeting specific individuals.

“The National Treasury should forward the list of public entities yet to comply with Executive Order 2, of 2018, on the publication of companies doing business with the government,” Ruto said.
