In a statement, Wamalwa revealed
that he received a communication from the Clerk of the National Assembly
requiring him to submit his bank details.
The Democratic Action Party of
Kenya (DAP-K) leader indicated that the clerk informed him that he was eligible
to receive a sitting allowance for being a member of the National Dialogue
Committee (NADCO).
However, Wamalwa expressed his
reluctance to collect the said dues, owing to a difference in opinion with the
NADCO report.
“On Friday, I received an
invitation from your officers to deliver my bank details to facilitate payment
of my sitting allowances as a member of NADCO,” Wamalwa stated.
“As you are aware, I had already
publicly declined to sign the said report after a serious disagreement arose
over the failure to address the fundamental issue of reduction of the cost of
living. I also declined to accept any payments from the said process.”
“This is, therefore, to
formally notify you that having already made my above position public, I
neither have the intention nor the inclination to change my position and/or
receive the said monies, which I request be returned to the exchequer,” he
declined.
Moreover, Wamalwa refused to
append his signature to the NADCO report, which was submitted to Ruto and Azimio
Leader Raila Odinga.
He insisted that the report
failed to address the audit of the 2022 electoral process, cost of living,
restructuring, and reconstitution of the IEBC, establishment and entrenchment of
State offices, and fidelity to the law on multiparty democracy effectively.
Wamalwa insisted that the issue
of IEBC cannot be ignored as the country will still experience the same
problems if it is not fixed.
