Criticisms against Parliament are growing following President William Ruto’s revelation that some parliamentary committees have been demanding bribes from state officials scheduled to appear for questioning.
Speaking on Spice FM on Thursday, August 14, former nominated MP Wilson Sossion warned that the practice undermines the legislature’s role in holding the executive to account.
He blamed the exchange of favors for Parliament’s failure to conduct thorough investigations, including superficial scrutiny of crucial Auditor General’s reports.
