Former nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba has challenged President William Ruto to address alleged sexual harassment cases in Parliament, following his recent revelation about corruption among Members of Parliament. Orwoba questioned the sincerity of Ruto's remarks, citing his influence over lawmakers and accusing the government of ignoring sexual misconduct while publicizing corruption.

• Orwoba claims she was suspended for speaking about corruption in Parliament, a topic Ruto is now addressing.
• The former senator warned of deliberate suppression of female politicians, referencing a viral video of Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga and President Ruto.
• Orwoba also cautioned the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) against voter bribery in Kisii ahead of November by-elections, claiming 5,000+ people are being shipped from Kisii to a State House meeting with handouts of 100,000 Kenya Shillings each.

President William Ruto yesterday accused Members of Parliament (MPs) of widespread corruption during the 3rd National Executive Retreat, simultaneously highlighting his administration's achievements in counties and signing two bills into law to strengthen devolution. This move has been seen by some as an attempt to deflect from his own administration's issues.

• President Ruto admitted to widespread corruption within the Senate and the National Assembly.
• The statements were made on June 19, 2025, during the 3rd National Executive Retreat.
• The President signed two bills into law, aimed at revamping devolution and strengthening devolved units.

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.

• Former MP Wilson Sossion warned that the "culture of inducing committees monetarily" threatens Kenya's governance by hindering thorough investigations and scrutiny of reports.
• Political analyst Barack Muluka claimed the Kenya Kwanza administration had enabled this practice by disbursing large sums for support, turning committees into "extortion forums."
• Some MPs accused Ruto of dishonesty, alleging the Executive is complicit in bribery, citing instances during senatorial impeachments where "lots of money changes hands."
