“To this end, you are required to appear at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission’s headquarters at Integrity Centre, Nairobi on 6th November 2023 at 09:00 am to shed light on the allegations, interview, and statement recording,” EACC added.
This comes after the MP spoke at the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), Organized in Bomet, where he allegedly admitted that he usually receives bribes, in-order to approve foreign trips of various members of parliament.
Osoro stated,”Sasa wewe ukipiga kelele hapa hautakula pesa. We unafikiria mimi ni maskini? Mi napanganga laini hapa watu wanakula mia mbili. Hizi ni vitu ndogo sana. Unanyamaza, nazungumza alafu nakulipa,”
“Mimi nimekuwa bunge siku mingi na nimetengeneza kitu ya kutosha. Na mimi ndio chief whip kule bungeni. Hao wabunge wote mimi ndio nawasimamia na wakitaka kuenda ng’ambo wanakuja kwa ofisi yangu wananiachia yangu ndio wanaenda.”
