A legislator in Nakuru has challenged the National Assembly Speaker to make public a recent report by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), on mileage and allowance payment to members of parliament.
Speaking in Nakuru Town on Tuesday, Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri said Justin Muturi should name MPs implicated in the report in order to avoid portraying the whole house as den of thieves.
The lawmaker said if Muturi fails to make public the report, then they will have to question him a lot being the chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC).
He said that the clerk of the National Assembly will also be required to answer some questions on the same.
“If he fails to do so, we will have to impeach him. He should give us the direction, if not so step aside to pave ways for investigations” said Kimani.
Kimani said that it is only by making the report known that the speaker can pave way for MPs to question the EACC on how investigations were done before the report was prepared and handed over to him.
While acknowledging that corruption cannot be ruled out in the house, Kimani said both the speaker and the clerk should be prepared to carry the cross should it emerge that irregularities have been there in the payment of allowances and mileage to members of parliament.
