In a statement on Thursday, November 14, 2024, Onyonka said that he supports the KCCB’s boldness after raising its voice against corruption and the increase in insecurity currently being witnessed in the country.
The vocal senator said that the cases of corruption and insecurity have affected the country’s culture, and economic systems and lowered the governance.
He further urged President William Ruto’s administration to address and bring to stop corruption, abduction and the numerous killings currently witnessed in the country.
“I support KCCB for firmly raising a voice against corruption, extra-judicial abductions and killings going on in the country. These vices have consequently broken down our Cultural, and economic systems and lowered our governance almost to irremediable levels. This must stop!” Senator Onyonka wrote on his X account on Thursday, November 14, 2024.
While addressing the press on Thursday, November 14, 2024, KCCB reprimanded the Kenya Kwanza administration over what they claimed is perpetuating the culture of lies and failing to address the issue of abductions.
The Catholic bishops went all out to castigate the current regime, claiming that they have failed to uphold integrity and have resolved to spew lies on major issues affecting the nation.
“The culture of lies is swiftly replacing the integrity and respect that Kenyans deserve. Basically, it seems that truth does not exist, and if it does, it is only what the government says. Unfortunately, it seems that the Kenyans have helplessly tolerated the lies told to them constantly by the politicians. Kenyans must learn not to applaud or validate the lies that the politicians tell them, but rather must resolve to seek and be led by the truth,
“This culture of lies, unkept promises, and misplaced priorities is unacceptable and needs to be dealt with,” the bishops stated.
The bishops further lamented over the deterioration of security in the country, which had led to the rise of abductions and femicide and challenged the relevant authorities to swing into action and restore order in the country.
“We are appalled by the blatant recurring incidents of reported abductions, disappearances, torture, and killings of Kenyans. We also decry the increasing murder of women,” the bishops demanded.
“The government must protect the life of every human person in Kenya. It must take the lead in following the law, which the leadership took an oath to uphold and defend at all times.”
