Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo on December 22, 2010, tabled a dossier in the National Assembly containing names of powerful politicians he alleged were drug barons.
This was after then Internal Minister George Saitoti named him, alongside MPs Hassan Joho, Mike Sonko, Harun Mwau and Coast businessman Ali Punjani as alleged drug traffickers.
Kabogo was the then Juja MP, Joho was representing Kisauni, Sonko was the Makadara MP while Mwau was the MP for Kilome.
Saitoti claimed he received the report implicating the five from then United States Ambassador to Kenya Micheal Ranneberger.
Kabogo, however, opposed the report saying the Minister was protecting some individuals by failing to mention them despite featuring in the dossier.
He then tabled his own report that contained the names of then Saboti legislator Eugene Wamalwa and his Kamukunji counterpart Simon Mbugua.
Kabogo also named a woman said to be the wife of a senior government official as being part of individuals that were being investigated by the US anti-narcotic detectives.
Mbugua and Wamalwa denied all links to drug dealing, with the latter arguing the allegations were a smear campaign aimed at killing his 2012 presidential bid.
"As a presidential aspirant, I believe I am just a victim of powerful forces out there to fix me," Wamalwa said.
Mbugua is currently an MP at the East African Legislative Assembly while Wamalwa is the Devolution Cabinet Secretary.
Kabogo's dossier, however, was trashed by the then Speaker Kenneth Marende who ruled that the report could not be authenticated and ordered for its removal from the records of Parliament.
"I further rule that the document described by honourable Kabogo as a dossier containing the names of honourable members involved in drug trafficking is inadmissible, and that it be and is hereby expunged from the records of this House," Marende said exonerating Mbugua and Wamalwa.
