The lawmakers allegedly asserted the man barely provides concrete responses when confronted with the allegations the team is examining. There are fears the individual’s behaviour stems from a belief he has protection from powerful persons, including those in the legislative quarters.

The official is allegedly under investigation by anti-graft authorities. He is accused of colluding with influential county officials to embezzle millions of shillings from the county.
