I was offered Ksh.3M to save Linturi – MP Omanyo claims Amidst Controversial Allegations.
She stated, “Someone came to me with Ksh.2 million, and another came saying the money had increased to Ksh.3 million because the report against Linturi was hot. At some point these people asked me to state what I wanted to favour the CS,”
“It was very heated during committee sittings. At some point, we almost got physical because of the bribery within the committee. We had to retreat to cool off before we resumed sittings,” Omanyo added.
Omanyo highlighted that Linturi was already cornered and there was no way he was supposed to escape blame in the fake fertiliser saga.
Sharing the same sentiments was Rarieda Member of Parliament Otiende Amollo who also claimed that he was aware of corruption among the members.
He stated, “I have spoken to some of the members of the select committee and a disclosure has been made to me that questions and allegations of impropriety and misconduct by some members of the committee,”
“It is necessary that such an issue is referred to the powers and privileges committee first because if there is any truth in it, this would result in the report being annulled. It would not be right to discuss that report,” he added.
