Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has advocated for a non-political, long-term strategy to combat corruption, which he described as the greatest obstacle to Kenya’s development. This comes as a new multi-agency anti-graft team formed by President William Ruto faces a court-ordered suspension.

• The High Court suspended operations of the Multi-Agency Team on War Against Corruption (MAT), with the case scheduled for a full hearing on December 4.
• President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga have accused some Members of Parliament of turning committees into "extortion rackets," with allegations of up to Sh10 million exchanged to influence legislation.
• Legislators, including Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang’, have demanded President Ruto substantiate his claims with evidence.

Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has accused President William Ruto of orchestrating parliamentary bribery, directly linking the Head of State to the very corruption he now condemns. This comes after Ruto's recent remarks denouncing parliamentary graft, likening committees to "open-air markets."

• Muturi claims Ruto's first political move after assuming power in 2022 was to "raid the opposition benches" through "buying loyalty" with "plum committee positions, cash inducements, and state patronage."
• The former CS insists any investigation into parliamentary graft must lead back to State House, which he alleges is the source of the corruption.
• Ruto had previously cited MPs demanding up to Ksh10 million for the Anti-Money Laundering Bill or Ksh150 million from county governments to block legislation.
