The Leader of Opposition, Hon Mathias Mpuuga, has said that the Opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) implicated in the embezzlement of the Sh164b Cooperatives money should be sorted out by the law.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) is investigating 30 MPs who are implicated in the Cooperatives money.
Several Trade Ministry officials have recorded their statements.
“If a member was mentioned in this report of cooperatives corruption, they should face the law, there is only one law in this land. And whoever is mentioned in the report they should face the law, if they had no obligation or question to answer, the law will sort it. Do you want me to write another report?” asserted Mpuuga.
Mpuuga, while addressing a press conference on the annual shadow cabinet accountability to the public, said that corruption should have no space anywhere for the nation to move forward.
“I don’t have anything to sympathise and these people should be able to face the law and those who have questions they must face them. Corruption is person to holder, it isn’t institutional that somebody is doing it for the benefit of their community, so that and other reports of Parliament where individuals have been indicted, they should be able to face the law,” added Mpuuga.
