KOT lash out at ‘greedy’ MPs amid bribe claims


Kenyans on Twitter are livid following claims that Members of Parliament were bribed to shoot down a report that indicted two cabinet secretaries in the importation of contaminated sugar scandal.

@PolycarpHinga wrote; “Sugar cartels offering a 10k bribe our MPs is an outright insult, but then our MPs gleefully bent over and took it. #HouseOfPigs.”

@Aquaprentise said; “Kenyan MPs have been in the news for driving sinister agenda and being mouthpieces for unknown sponsors at the costs of the K
