“He rejected 1 million bribe” John Allan Namu explains why Mohammed Ali won’t be corrupted by parliament
Corruption has been rife in the Kenyan parliament for decades, most MPs elected based on integrity easily fall into the trap. John Allan Namu is however confident that his friend Mohammed Ali won’t be corrupted by parliament’s underdealing.
Sometimes in June this year, Sirisia MP John Waluke admitted to taking bribes. Waluke confessed that corruption had been rife in the 11th and previous parliaments; he admitted that he received money and had never refused to take bribe when offered.
Influential politicians and oligarchs usually offer MPs handouts in the guise of lobbying them to debate or vote in a way that favors their interests.
John Allan Namu is however confident that Nyali MP Mohammed Ali won’t fall into the trap of accepting bribes to promote the interests of a few people.
Namu cited the case of his investigative story with Mohammed Ali where officials from Track It company (car tracking company) offered them $10,000 or Kes 1 million bribe to kill a story.
“Eleven years ago Moha and I did a story that would transform our careers forever. The conversation that preceded the clip from which this screenshot was taken was one of the most memorable of the many we’ve had since. I won’t go into the details but on that day I became even more convinced that Moha was doing his thing for the people. He could have very easily taken the money. Now he is in a house where inducements like these will be far greater than the 10000 USD we were offered to kill this story all those years ago. I am still convinced that @mohajichopevu won’t be swayed by them. Now it is me who has to draw a line between friendship and keeping this young man accountable. Good luck Moha, we will be watching!” John Allan Namu wrote.
