Former Chief Justice and United Green Movement (UGM) party leader David Maraga yesterday warned that the country risks losing its constitutional and moral direction.
Speaking during his State of the Nation address at Ufungamano House in Nairobi on Tuesday, where he also declared his bid for the 2027 presidential race, Maraga said Kenya’s problem is not lack of resources or talent but a persistent culture of corruption and failure by leaders to uphold accountability.
He criticised President William Ruto, his Cabinet and senior government officials, accusing them of enabling theft of public resources and turning the country into what he termed a “full-blown criminal enterprise.”
