The Kiambu county female representative, Gathoni Wamuchomba went public with claims that the report of an investigation aimed at ascertaining how a quantity of sugar imported into the East African country contained mercury was prematurely thrown out of the house.
The investigation was to unravel the truth or otherwise behind the public health security threat the development posed to innocent citizens, but Gathoni Wamuchomba said her colleagues were compromised and indeed threw out the investigative report.
She is quoted as saying: “It is not propaganda. The MPs received the money in toilets in Parliament. I was in Parliament when the money was being dished out and I saw where the MPs were collecting it from. And I am saying this because of the energies I saw, the movements I saw and the talking I heard.”

She clarified that she did not receive the bribes, saying: “They were telling us that the money is not our mothers’ and that we were being too arrogant.”
Gathoni‘s allegations follow an earlier claim by Naivasha legislator, Jayne Kihara that the people’s representatives had sold their consciences and kicked against the damning report.
Meanwhile, some other lawmakers are reported to have petitioned the speaker of parliament to order a reintroduction of the said report for a better scrutiny.
As the claims continue to attract fierce reactions from the Kenyan public, Gathoni Wamuchomba has called for a resort to the CCTV cameras in the legislature to help ascertain the truth.
