Lari politician Peter Njau
By George Mugo
A Kiambu based politician has urged the government to dissolve the Parliament if it was sincere about fighting corruption.
Peter Njau said that it was painful for President William Ruto to reveal that the legislators were corrupt and needed to be bribed to pass a bill.
Njau said the revelation was very sensitive since electorates have realized that the legislators were not representing them as they wished.
The politician who has declared his interest for Lari parliamentary seat in the forth coming general election says that the president’s revelation should not be taken for granted.
“The revelation means that there are so many ills that we do not know. If the president is in pain, we are also in pain since how can they represent us?” he wondered.
The politician said the unity between the ruling party UDA and opposition leader ODM Raila Odinga’s party will not help the country.
“Since the Raila joined the government, they ought to have done something in the war on corruption, but the president is speaking about it a few days ago. Meaning, he is in a painful corner” he said.
During UDA and ODM meeting, President revealed the issue that caused MPs to get angry with him, while denying the vice.
Njau said even as the investigators probe the issue which has sparked criticisms, the parliament ought to be dissolved since Kenyans have lost trust with it.
Church leaders have joined in the debate asking the government not to investigate the current legislators, but send them home.
Pastor Isaac Ndung’u said many Kenyans were discussing the matter and felt disappointed by the legislators.
Ndung’u asked other church leaders to pray for the country’s peace as we approach the 2027 general elections.
“We need each other and therefore we have a duty of praying for each other. We need peace and coexistence. We also need to be faithful and we feel bad when we are led by unfaithful people” he noted.
