Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka has claimed that the government is planning to arrest Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna.
Speaking on Monday, August 18, during a PNU consultative forum in Meru county, Onyonka alleged that the state is planning to arrest Senator
Sifuna and other Members of Parliament over bribery allegations.
“We have just received information that the president wants to arrest Sifuna and other members of the Senate and the National Assembly because they were allegedly involved in bribery,” Onyonka claimed.
The Kisii Senator’s claims come after President William Ruto announced that Members of Parliament (MPs) involved in soliciting and receiving bribes will be arrested.
Speaking during a joint Kenya Kwanza Alliance and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party parliamentary group meeting, Ruto claimed that some lawmakers received a Ksh10 million bribe to pass the Anti Money Laundering Bill.
“Did you know that a few members of parliament collected Ksh10 million so that you could pass the Anti-Money laundering bill. Did you get the money?” Ruto posed.

The Head of State said the MPs collecting bribes to perform their legislative duties are destroying the credibility of Parliament.
Ruto went on to say that the lawmakers who are allegedly involved in the bribery and whoever bribed them would be arrested and charged.
“There are people who are destroying the credibility of parliament. They are collecting money in the name of Parliament. And most of the time, that money never gets to parliament; it gets to a few people,” said Ruto.
He continued, “We are not going to shame them. We are going to arrest them. Whoever is giving and whoever is being given, we are going to sort them out.”
