Azimio la Umoja presidential running mate Martha Karua has pledged to wage a spirited war against graft and will spare no one in her fight.


Karua was speaking in Subukia, Nakuru County where she was on a campaign trail.

She emphasised the Azimio coalition’s commitment to improving the lives of poor Kenyans by revamping the economy if they win the August election.

Karua also said the Azimio coalition will fix the economy by providing a suitable environment by fighting graft.

"We will also revamp the economy so that we can give young people hope of employment and a better future. However, we cannot improve the economy unless we fight corruption and we in Azimio have promised we will do that,” Karua said.

Karua said the Azimio coalition government will implement the social protection program that will provide each household with a Sh6,000 monthly stipend to cushion them from hunger.

"We have poor Kenyans who are going to bed hungry, under the Azimio government, we have promised to give those families Sh6,000 every month," Karua said.

The former Gichugu MP said Raila Odinga picking her as his running mate and Justice and Constitutional Affairs CS is a clear sign he is ready and willing to fight graft.

However, Karua said they will apply the law fairly and nobody will be unlawfully targeted in the war against graft. At the same time, she said they will spare nobody in the fight to end graft.

"It will not matter whether it is my brother or my friend, the law will be applied fairly to all. We are not people of vendetta, we don't hate anyone but those who abuse the privileges given to them by the Kenyan people, your days are numbered," she said.


Karua urged the residents of Subukia to vote for Raila and Azimio coalition leaders because they are the only set of leaders who have their interests at heart.
