Former KTN investigative journalist Mohammed Ali has said he will use his parliamentary immunity not only to name but also shame corrupt leaders if he ascends to power in August. Speaking during an interview with eDaily, Moha said he will consider working as an ambassador of the oppressed if he becomes the next Nyali MP, adding that he will take his investigative skills into parliament when that time comes. “I am still a journalist wherever I go, whether I win or lose. If I win, God willing, I will be a journalist in Parliament. It doesn’t mean I should appear on TV and do Jicho Pevu every day. I can represent the voice of the voiceless people in Parliament,” he said. The journalist turned politician also took a swipe at politicians who are hiding behind parliamentary privileges as the common Mwananchi continues to languish in abject poverty. When asked why he decided to join the 'dirty field' of politics, Moha said he will sue the platform to fight for the rights of Kenyans.“Everyone is sitting in their own comfort zones, but every day they live complaining things are not good, business is not good, money is not flowing and there is a lot of corruption blaming the government every time, “ he added. The aspirant further promised to change the lives of Nyali residents and Kenyans at large.
