Tension has been witnessed between the legislature and the executive after the National Assembly paralysed all committee activities in protest over President William Ruto’s recent claims that lawmakers jeopardise parliamentary processes by soliciting bribes.
President Ruto accused sections of MPs of demanding a Ksh10 million bribe to pass the government-backed Anti-Money Laundering Bill, while saying a governor took Ksh150 million to bribe senators to influence their findings.
The remarks angered the MPs who, in demonstration, left Parliament chambers deserted and committee rooms locked.
