Members of the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), led by Chairperson Moses Kajwang’, are demanding that House Speakers summon President William Ruto to provide evidence supporting his recent claims of bribery and extortion involving Members of Parliament and Senators.

• The senators invoked Article 125 of the Constitution, which grants Parliament and its committees the power to summon any person for evidence.
• Senator Samson Cherargei asserted that no one, including the President, is exempt from appearing before parliamentary bodies, especially in cases like potential impeachment.
• The demand follows President Ruto’s remarks at the recent Devolution Conference, where he accused MPs and Senators of soliciting bribes from Cabinet Secretaries and Governors.

Kericho County Governor Erick Mutai faces a second impeachment attempt, with the County Assembly delivering the decision to the Senate on August 18, 2025. This follows a vote where 33 out of 47 members supported the motion, citing alleged abuse of office.

• 18 Members of the County Assembly have filed affidavits with the Senate, claiming the impeachment process was irregular and unconstitutional, particularly citing the sudden introduction of electronic voting machines.
• The previous impeachment attempt against Governor Mutai in October 2024 was unsuccessful, with 34 Senators voting to discontinue the hearing.
• Allegations against the governor include questionable transactions totaling hundreds of millions of shillings, such as Sh3.9 million for maintenance of houses and Sh14.9 million for undelivered animal feed.

National Assembly sittings were paralyzed on Tuesday after Members of Parliament boycotted committee business, following renewed accusations of corruption by President William Ruto. Ruto alleged that some MPs accepted bribes, specifically mentioning a Sh10 million payment related to anti-money laundering legislation.

• President William Ruto accused unnamed MPs of collecting Sh10 million to pass an anti-money laundering law.
• Senate Accounts Committee Chairperson Moses Kajwang' challenged House Speakers to summon President Ruto to provide evidence for his claims.
• The President’s remarks were made during the first-ever Parliamentary Group meeting on Monday, August 18, in Karen, Nairobi.
