Miguna argued that claiming corruption fosters growth is as absurd as saying a body with more germs is healthier than one with fewer.
He likened corruption to an illness that weakens nations: hospitals lack medicine, roads deteriorate rapidly, and schools go without basic necessities. “It’s simple logic: corruption makes countries sick,” he said.
He emphasized that corruption is far from a minor issue. Instead, it consumes public resources, diverting funds meant for the needy into the hands of a few wealthy individuals.
Leaders may flaunt projects and make grand claims, but behind the scenes, they are embezzling public money. “This is not development—it is theft,” Miguna stated.
The activist specifically criticized economist David Ndii, accusing him of attempting to rationalize corruption in the past.
Miguna asserted that no amount of rhetoric can hide the reality that a country mired in corruption cannot move forward, regardless of infrastructural developments.
He also warned those benefiting from corrupt practices that their hold on power is temporary. “Those filling their bellies through graft should enjoy it while it lasts,” he cautioned, noting that justice, though slow, eventually catches up.
Miguna added that Kamiti Prison awaits those who feel untouchable, asserting that once President Ruto leaves office, accountability for corruption will follow.
Concluding his remarks, Miguna urged Kenyans to reject deception and demand integrity from their leaders.
He stressed that genuine development stems from transparent leadership, diligence, and proper management of public funds, not from theft or false promises.
For Miguna, the path to national progress lies in honesty, accountability, and respect for public resources—principles that corruption fundamentally undermines.
