Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has bought Sh100,000 worth of anointed handkerchiefs to distribute among the arms of government.
The Legislator said the move is to help fight corruption, which he says is deeply rooted in the arms of government.
On Sunday, Amisi asked the Pastor to buy the handkerchiefs and send them to Parliament, Senate, Judiciary and State House.
“I have heard that there is corruption in Parliament. I know MPs here have given their offerings, and they will give you. I want to add my own money, Sh100,000 for you to buy these anointed handkerchiefs, worth the money, and I will give you the money today," he said.
The Legislator asked the pastor to take 349 to Parliament, 67 to the Senate, 300 to the Judiciary, and 10,000 to State House.
The MP said the move is to take corruption to the altar of God, adding that they are ready to release Kenyans from the acts of corruption to develop the country.
“They are confusing us; we don’t know who is propagating the corruption menace. We have a culture of corruption that has been built in the country. We want to know who is the contractor, architect, plumber, chief engineer, quantity surveyor, and mechanical engineer of corruption,” he said.
This follows President William Ruto's accusations against a section of Members of Parliament of receiving bribes to vote against the recently enacted anti-money laundering law.
Speaking during a joint parliamentary group meeting with ODM and UDA legislators on Monday, August 18, Ruto said he was aware of corrupt dealings within parliamentary committees.
“There are legitimate concerns about how resources are being spent at the counties, and we cannot run away. By virtue of the position I hold today, I am a consumer of raw intelligence. I know what's going on,” he said.
The President claimed that some MPs were compromised with millions of shillings to frustrate critical laws.
“Do you, for example, know that a few members of your committee collected Sh10 million so that you don’t pass that law on anti-money laundering? Did you get the money?” he asked.
Ruto also raised questions on how some county officials access large sums of cash.
“Where does somebody find Sh150 million? Is that his money? That is money that belongs to the county,” he noted.
He warned that corruption was eroding the credibility of Parliament and undermining public trust.
The President said that there are a few people within parliament who are spoiling the name of parliament.
However, a section of MPs on Tuesday fired back at the President, blaming him for maligning Parliament and embarrassing them.
