A WELL-CONNECTED MP is alleged to have harvested heavily after agreeing to abandon a controversial bill he has sponsored. Sources familiar with the matter claim the MP was warned the proposed legislation could damage his party’s prospects in the 2027 elections. The party leadership is said to have summoned him to a closed-door meeting, during which he was urged to withdraw the bill. The MP eventually agreed. He was reportedly given Sh5 million as compensation for the “costs” incurred during the bill’s drafting.
