Raila to appear before PAC over Eurobond

Opposition leader Raila Odinga is set to appear before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) this week to shed more light on the Eurobond scandal.

PAC Chairman Nicholas Gumbo confirmed that Raila has requested to appear before the committee to share with it details concerning the Eurobond cash.

Earlier this week, Raila released names of five individuals allegedly connected to the scandal.

"I spoke to the CORD leader on Friday and we agreed he will be coming before the committee as he has crucial information that can help in tracing the allegedly lost monies," said Gumbo.

Although he did not mention the exact date Raila will be appearing before PAC, Gumbo said they will sit down and come up with a schedule that favours both parties so that Raila can furnish the committee with important information that could help in the investigations.

He lauded Raila's efforts of tracing the cash and asked anybody with crucial information that may help in the investigations to approach the committee.

"Even Jubilee MPs who believe proceeds of the Eurobond were used prudently should appear, he said.

He said all leaders should be ready to counter information concerning the Eurobond with facts.

The PAC leader stated that the committee will be forced to issue summons to whoever they will feel needs to shed some light on the same matter.
