Nominated Senator Tabitha Mutinda has distanced herself from claims that Senators received Kshs.10 million to impeach former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
In an interview on Citizen TV’s DayBreak show, Tabitha was cornered by her Murang’a County Senator Joe Nyutu on whether she received the amount, faintly denying and instead told Nyutu to control his frustrations.
The Murang’a senator claimed that every member of the Senate, himself included, was offered Kshs. 10 million to impeach Gachagua, which he refused, but insisted that Senator Tabitha accepted the amount.
“The issue of bribery and the Kshs.10 million, Sen. Tabitha says I’m frustrated, with what? Let her swear before God and Kenyans, today that she didn’t receive the Kshs.Ksh.10 million,” Joel Nyutu said.
In response to the matter, Tabitha claimed that the impeachment process is a done deal and should be left in the past.
