Veteran musician Rosemary Wahu Kagwi has sent a rare message to President Uhuru Kenyatta urging him to fight corruption.

The gospel singer tagged the President in her post on Instagram which she wrote on behalf of the next generation.

Wahu's message to President Uhuru

She wrote, “Dear Mr. President . Here's a note from me to you! On my behalf, and on behalf of generations coming behind us. Show no Mercy!”

She further captioned it alongside a post that summarized the achievements made by Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad within a short period of time as he tamed widespread corruption in his country.

“Mahathir Mohamad brought back $ 50 billion of the corrupt money after 5 days of re-election. In just 5 days he:

Arrested 9 ministers, shut down the air space and sea so the corrupt don’t escape

Arrested 144 businessmen for corruption

Arrested 50 judges for corruption

Arrested 200 cops on corruption

Introduced tax reduction as of June 2018”

NYS scandal

Her plea to President Uhuru comes hot on the heels following a fresh National Youth Service (NYS) corruption scandal where Sh8 billion is alleged to have been lost.
