Criticism is mounting against the Kenyan Parliament following President William Ruto's revelation that some parliamentary committees are demanding bribes from state officials. This practice, described as a "protection fee," is undermining the legislature's oversight role and raising concerns about governance. In response to the President's remarks, former nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba has challenged him to also address alleged sexual harassment cases in Parliament. Orwoba questioned the sincerity of Ruto's remarks, accusing the government of ignoring sexual misconduct while publicizing corruption.
