Led by Majority and Minority leaders Aden Duale and John Mbadi respectively, the legislative house shot down a sugar probe report presented by Agriculture and Trade committee chair and Kieni lawmaker  Kanini Kega.

The move was, however, blamed on graft, after a section of lawmakers claimed that members were offered Sh10,000 each to reject the report probing the mass importation of contraband sugar last year.

Speaking on Radio Citizen early Wednesday, Savula excluded himself from the allegedly compromised lawmakers, terming himself a pastor’s son and cannot be swayed.

‘’Mimi siwezi hongwa, mimi ni mtoto wa pasta (I cannot be bribed, I am a Pastor’s son),’’ he said.

He took shots at the members who allegedly took the offer and shot down the report, terming them as a disgrace to the house and unsuitable for the seats they hold.

The legislator further recalled getting a confession from one of the importers of Indian origin whom, he said, told him to his face that he has his own ways of having things done his way by parliamentarians.

The importer, he claimed, has since appeared before the house regarding the scandal.

‘’Juzi tu tulikuwa na mhindi fulani na akaniambia eti yey yuko na fomula ya kudeal na wabunge. Ni mmoja kati wa wale walioleta sukari (the Indian who happens to be one of the implicated importers bragged that he has the formula to deal with the parliamentarians),’’ said Savula in support of his argument that the MPs were indeed compromised.
