Tension was witnessed on Wednesday morning as National Assembly leadership differed on the recent arrest of Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o.
Leader of Minority Opiyo Wandayi said that some members had the view that the CoB had been arrested due to her strong stand against misuse of public funds.
He noted that it was the function of the house to set the record straight on why Nyakang'o was arrested.
"Her functions are intertwined with the functions of this house. This house must set the record straight if there is any misconception of why she was arrested," Wandayi said.
"We don't want to go into the details of why she was arrested because some of us hold the strongest view that she was being pursued for her strong stance against misuse of public funds."
On Tuesday, the CoB was charged at a Mombasa court with multiple counts of fraud, false pretence, and operating a Sacco without a license.
