The Chinese Government has pledged to support Kenya in its fight against high level corruption. China observed that if left unchecked, the vice could see the country degenerate into lawlessness.
Speaking Monday morning, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Supervision of the Peoples Republic of China Wang Lingjun stated that China was going to support the Kenyan government in the areas of asset recovery and repatriation of illicit proceeds.
“We shall share our experiences in anti-corruption and provide opportunity for you to understand the various challenges in this fight that you are struggling with. All countries have challenges but the support of the people we serve gives us the drive to ensure that we strive to achieve a zero tolerance status in China,” the third senior most ranked official in the Chinese Communist Party stated.
Mr Lingjun was speaking when he led a high powered delegation of senior Chinese government officials in paying a courtesy call on the Attorney General Prof Githu Muigai at his offices in Nairobi.
Kenya has further reaffirmed her position that corruption if not controlled or eliminated continued to remain a big threat to the survival of the state.
The Chief Legal Advisor stated that Kenya could not afford to allow illegitimate forces outside the State to control Kenya as this would lead to the country degenerating into a totally lawless society.
