“We are the ones who tolerate corruption and we have to kill it from the giver and the receiver. No one should ask you for even a coin so that they can process your forms. There will never be kickbacks in my office,” Kailemia said.
Kailemia thanked President William Ruto for agreeing to increase funds in the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) kitty because the office will now reach more vulnerable people.
She also distributed Ksh20million to different Women and youth groups in the County.
