Magufuli on the right track in fighting graft – Kalonzo

The Wiper Democratic Movement leader, Kalonzo Musyoka, has applauded Tanzanian President John Joseph Pombe Magufuli for his relentless efforts to fight corruption in his country.

Speaking in Karen at the farewell party of  Miss Sharon Ogeto, who is set to be married to her Tanzanian fiancé Humfrey Ephraim, Kalonzo said corruption is the cancer that  is consuming many African nations and any effort to slay the vice must be commended and supported by all.

“I commend Tanzania’s president for  his commitment in fighting corruption, we hope he can come around and help us here in Kenya for two months or so,” Kalonzo said.

Kalonzo also lauded  the couple for their great gesture of spreading the gospel of East African Integration which is now taking shape as  many treaties  being implemented.

The Wiper leader said the EAC integration is one of the projects he worked for during his tenure as the Foreign Minister of Kenya serving as the first Chair of the Tripartite Committee setup by the East African President’s in the 1990’s to revive the collapsed cooperation.

Kalonzo added that  efforts by the young generation must be encouraged to  suppress the ghost of tribalism, which  is slowly eating up the Kenyan nation.

“To slay the ghost of tribalism, beautiful deeds such as these must be encouraged, as leaders we should borrow a leaf from these young ones and embrace each other as Kenyans and East Africans,” he said.
