Companies and investors cite pervasive graft as one of the biggest challenges to doing business in Kenya.

"We agreed we are going to work and come up with a framework of dealing with real corruption as well as perceived corruption," Uhuru said after a meeting with business executives.
"In a week's time, the team that we put together, comprising both members of government as well as the private sector, would come up and give us a plan on how we shall work together to overcome that challenge," he said.
Uhuru said one potential action against graft was to bar firms which do not sign up to a private sector-led code of conduct from participating in government tenders.

Deputy President William Ruto said he and the president would lead the fight against corruption and they expected all individuals and institutions to follow suit.
"Every public official, every institution must be accountable," Ruto said.
"We are not going to talk. We are not going to have a discussion. We are not going to have a debate because it will not take us anywhere."
