Rarieda Member of Parliament Otiende Amollo has said the Building Bridges Initiative has nothing to do with the ban former Attorney General (AG) Amos Wako from visiting the United States of America.
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview on NTV, Otiende said the US has a clear system on how to fight graft, adding that every person accused of engaging in corruption, should be held accountable.
"The BBI has got nothing to do with this whole thing," he said.
"It takes the Secretary of State all the way in the U.S. to name one individual. I find that curious. I think it should go further when you have evidence (of corruption) don’t just share it with the Kenyan government share it with the rest of us," he added.
He raised concern with the ban on Wako's wife, and son, adding that during the senators's time as AG, his wife did not feature anywhere in his duties.
Otiende further noted that the son an independent legal practitioner who should not be included in the accusations facing the father.
"When you list the wife and the son, what signal are you sending? Because corruption is individual, and people should be held individually accountable," he said.
On Monday, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo banned Wako from entering the US after he was allegedly involved in significant graft.
