Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale: 'Charge State officers over harambees'

Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has asked the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Keriako Tobiko to charge all State officers contributing money to harambees, saying they are breaking the law.

Citing the Leadership and Integrity Act, Dr Khalwale said State officers are prohibited from engaging in, presiding over or contributing to harambees.
"In the 9th Parliament, an ad hoc committee was set up and was chaired by Koigi Wa Wamwere. The committee made far-reaching recommendations that led to legislation that put restrictions on harambees," said Khalwale.
