Mutea Iringo: I called MP over report

Kenya: Defence Principal Secretary Mutea Iringo yesterday admitted he called Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Vice-Chairperson Cecily Mbarire to ask why a committee report implicated him in corruption.

Iringo told the National Assembly's Powers and Privileges Committee he was shocked that the report by PAC had ignored the submissions he made and, instead, recommended that he be investigated over Sh2.9 billion suspicious expenditure drawn for confidential accounts under the Office of the President.
