Thursday, August 21, 2025 - The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has dismissed reports claiming that it was planning to raid the home of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
Viral social media posts alleged that the Commission was
preparing an operation at the Speaker’s residence following recent political
developments.
However, EACC officials clarified that the information was
false.
“Ignore the reports. That is fake,” the Commission told a
local media house, stressing that the claims were baseless.
The rumours surfaced against the backdrop of heightened
tension between Parliament and the Executive after President William Ruto
publicly accused MPs and Senators of soliciting bribes.
Speaking during a joint Kenya Kwanza-ODM Parliamentary Group
Meeting on Monday, Ruto warned lawmakers that those found guilty of corruption
would face arrest and prosecution.
His remarks sparked uproar in the National Assembly, which
on Tuesday paralysed all committee activities in protest.
Senate committees continued with their sittings but
registered their displeasure.
Meanwhile, Speaker Wetang’ula is leading MPs in a two-day
retreat in Mombasa.
The meeting brings together members of the Parliamentary
Service Commission, the Speakers Panel, committee leaders, KEWOPA
representatives, and legislators from the Budget Committee.
The retreat is aimed at reviewing Parliament’s mandate,
strengthening collaboration with the Judiciary, and fostering unity among
legislators amid the growing standoff with the Executive.
Meanwhile, the debate over corruption allegations in
Parliament continues to dominate the national political scene.
