THE STANDARD By Roselyne Obala | February 14th 2021 at 00:00:00 GMT +0300 National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi [Wilberforce Okwiri, Standard] Claims of corruption have once again rocked the National Assembly as MPs laid bare concerns of illegal benefits extended to those in perceived lucrative committees in efforts to buy influence. On Thursday, some MPs cried foul that they are being judged harshly in their respective constituencies as their colleagues enjoyed extra benefits for serving in powerful committees.

National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi was forced to preside over heated debate on a motion by Majority Leader Amos Kimunya amidst claims of rent seeking and receiving illegal incentives from line ministries.
