Ruto's presidency created anti-corruption rhetoric yet limited mechanism for investigating historical corruption (including Ruto-era scandals). A task force addressed corruption within government, yet prosecutions remained limited. The approach suggested selective accountability: publicizing anti-corruption commitment while protecting allies and limiting investigation into predecessor figures' conduct. Whether genuine institutional anti-corruption capacity would develop remained uncertain.
