As DCI detectives narrow in on gold scammers in Kenya, Kapseret MP Oscar Kipchumba Sudi has termed Zaheer Jhanda a conman.
Sudi trained his guns on Jhanda moments after he was named by Homa Bay Woman Representative Gladys Wanga as one of the politicians maligning Raila Odinga and Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i by dragging their names into the scandal.
The Kapseret MP now says that Jhanda, a renowned business personality in gold, is a confused man.
"Following the allegations, I wish to state here that; Zaheer is a conman and a known swindler. He contradicted himself in the interview and seemed confused like a headless chicken," said Sudi in a Facebook post.
In defence against claims that together with Nelson Koech (Belgut), Caleb Kositany (Soy) and Governor Stephen Sang (Nandi), they dragged Raila and Matiang' i name into the scandal, Sudi noted that they are not to blame.
"Everyone knows that the person who linked the head of state, Raila and Matiang'i to the scandal was Moses Wetangula. Zaheer and all those mentioned in the scam should carry their own crosses, " Sudi noted
Sudi further challenged Zaheer to publicly deny he boarded the same plane with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to Dubai.
He also hit out at the Homa Bay Woman Representative and asked her to stop playing politics with the issue.
"Hon. Gladys Wanga should keep politics out of this and let the law takes its course. I understand one of the players in this scandal is Gladys Wanga's boyfriend, she should, therefore, refrain herself from dragging bedroom matters to serious and sensitive issues that might cost our country's diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates." he added.
Sudi asked the authorities handling the matter to move with speed and conclude its investigations.
