Former Subukia parliamentarian Koigi Wa Wamwere has been the latest leader to weigh in on the National Assembly's latest move.
The house on Thursday cleared National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich and his former Industrialisation counterpart Aden Mohammed of blame regarding the fading contraband sugar saga.
Speaking on radio Sauti ya Mwananchi's 'Cheche' on Saturday evening, Koigi claimed that the decision worked in the favour of Deputy President William Ruto.
According to Wamwere, the two seem to hail from Ruto's faction of the ruling Jubilee party, making it a sigh of relief for him and his quarters.
"A keen look will confirm that Ruto is the main beneficiary as the acquitted seem to hail from his side of the coalition," said Wamwere.
"He can now sigh in relief as the two have evaded the attempt to have them in investigated," he added.
The house further threw out a report prepared by the joint committee formed to look into the issue, led by Kieni parliamentarian Kanini Kega.
According to Koigi, who is opposed to the move, it is only President Uhuru Kenyatta who can now salvage the nation from the increasing graft levels.
"The only person who can save the nation now is Uhuru as the parliament has proved its unwillingness to fight graft," he stated.
The push to have the two and former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Willy Bett cleared was led by Homa bay Women Representative Gladys Wanga.
The other side was led by majority leader Aden Duale and his minority counterpart John Mbadi.
