An MP who is perceived to be a close ally to Deputy President William Ruto from Kisii County has denied being corrupt.
Nyaribari Chache MP Richard Tong'i dismissed the claims that he is embezzling public funds by organizing unnecessary sporting activities in the constituency.
The lawmaker insisted that there is no single cent that was lost after funds from the CDF kitty was used to fund sports.
"Some residents who are claiming that I underfunded tournaments in the constituency are only being used by my desperate rivals. I want to reiterate that CDF funds were used appropriately to fund the sporting activities where constituents had fun," he said.
According to the Jubilee legislator, he has never had a dream of engaging in dubious deals such as theft of public money.
"I am satisfied with my monthly salary and those claiming that I have stolen public money should file a case in court," he stated.
Tong'i said the sporting activities were organized professionally.
"We had a successful tournament despite a tight budget we managed to buy uniforms for all teams and participants received a token of appreciation," said the MP.
