Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has lambasted his own citizens about endemic corruption in Kenya while on a state visit to Israel.

We Kenyans God has blessed us with a country… that is 20 times more wonderful than the one where we are now

But wherever we are, all we ever do is complain and steal - and in fact we are experienced in stealing, abusing each other, perpetuating other crimes and peddling tribalism"

President Kenyatta visited the Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem earlier this week

The president told the audience of Kenyans that they could learn much from how well Israel was run.

Stories of corruption dominate the media and Twitter and Facebook feeds in East Africa's largest economy at the moment.

Last year, Mr Kenyatta sacked five of his ministers and other senior state officials because of allegations of corruption.
