The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga has pledged to wage a spirited war against graft in conjunction with the US government.
Raila made the assertion on Tuesday during his meeting with the Corporate Council on Africa, the US Chamber of Commerce and Constituency for Africa.
He purposed ending the vice as a signature agenda in his collaboration with the US government.
During the same meeting, Raila urged top-ranking business and opinion organisations in the US to channel their investments to Kenya.

Raila addressed the concerns that have discouraged potential investors from venturing into Kenya.
The former prime minister also met the Atlantic Council and promised to deal with issues of governance, which he said keep investors at bay.
He noted poor justice systems and the high cost of energy as some of the issues deterring investors from investing in Kenya.
Raila left the country for a week-long tour in the US on which he was scheduled to hold a series of meeting with Kenyans in the diaspora but had to cut his stay short following the passing of the late retired President Mwai Kibaki.
He will wind up his US trip by holding meetings at the State Department, The White House and Capitol Hill on Wednesday before embarking on his journey back home in time for Kibaki’s burial.
Raila was accompanied by NARC-Kenya leader Martha Karua, Kisii Governor James Ongwae, Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya, Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang’, Kathiani MP Robert Mbui and the former Aldai Dr Sally Kosgei, Sabina Chege, Suleiman Shahbal, among others.
