President William Ruto has strongly criticized some Members of Parliament, accusing them of extorting bribes to manipulate or ignore official reports from House Oversight Committees. These allegations arose during the opening of the Devolution Conference in Homa Bay County.

• President Ruto stated that "money is being demanded from the Executive, governors, and ministers—especially those who appear before parliamentary committees for accountability."
• The primary individuals involved are unnamed Members of Parliament, particularly those on House Oversight Committees, and the recipients of their alleged demands include the Executive, governors, and ministers.
• President Ruto's remarks were prompted by Senate Speaker Amason Kingi's concerns regarding rampant corruption and weak accountability within some counties.
