Nominated MP Maina Kamanda has now turned his cannons towards Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro over the new motion he has tabled in the National Assembly.
The lawmaker has since sponsored a new bill seeking to reduce the powers of the Directorates of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Public Prosecutions (DPP) on corruption matters.
Kamanda opined that Nyoro is most likely being used by more powerful sources, and is not independently making the push.
He termed it part of a larger plan to paralyse the war on graft, considering that Nyoro is a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto whose name has featured in many scandals.
“If you see the dog bark look for the owner. The motion by Ndindi Nyoro is meant to curtail powers of DCI, EACC and DPP to fight corruption,” he was quoted by the Nation.
The MP spoke in the company of tens of other Jubilee and opposition lawmakers during a church service at the Gatanga Catholic Church in Gatanga constituency.
His remarks were echoed by Ruaraka lawmaker TJ Kajwang who said that the bill will not see the light of the day as he and his colleagues will shoot it down.
The DCI and DPP have been under fire from Ruto's quarters lately, over claims of being used to turn the purge into a political weapon against the DP and his 2022 presidential ambition.
