Ex-Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire has backed the report by Senate Public Accounts and Investment Committee which unanimously backed the report to prosecute Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i over Sh1.5 million Ruaraka land saga.
Both majority and minority leadership agreed to have the report paved to allow DCI to investigate and arrest Matiang'i and Education PS Belio Kipsang for ignoring advise by Quality Assurance and Assessment Committee.

“We want the DCI, EACC to do a thorough job in this matter. They should not prosecute the big fish just because they want to be seen to be working. Evidence should guide them in their investigations and prosecutions,” said Kipchumba Murkomen
Orengo said: “It will be unfair for us to reject the report as senators because most of the information came from people serving Government. The report is credible and all senators should support it.
"If we pass it, we will show the country that we have no sacred cows,” Mr Orengo added.https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001302845/senators-support-report-seeking-to-investigate-matiangi-kipsang-over-ruaraka-land-scam.
And Bosire now says the report gives DCI and DPP an opportunity to show Kenyans their seriousness in the war against graft, which has been dismissed previously as PR gimmicks.
According to him, Matiang'i's integrity is questionable, adding that the outcome of the report is an indication of the dirty side of the minister.
"Integrity and effective leadership, and a possibility of achieving the desired development in society. He should explain to Kenyans where he breaks the same law which he wants us to adhere to."
The two protagonists are said to be eyeing Nyamira gubernatorial seat currently held by Governor John Nyagarama who is serving his last term.
