In an interview with NTV on Friday evening, Ichung’wah who
is also the Kikuyu Constituency Member of Parliament, said he will table a bill
in Parliament to establish a State Capture Commission that will investigate the
conduct of the former President.
Ichung'wah said the commission would investigate Uhuru for
leaving the country in trouble after the end of his tenure in August 2022.
"I am doing a state capture commission bill as a
private member; as a member of Kikuyu constituency. I firmly believe that our past
should inform our future. We must never as a country get back to the pitfalls
that we fell into as a country; where state capture determined what contracts
would go to who, what government policies would be advanced. Not in the
interest of the public good but in the interest of private business
interest," Ichung’wah said.
The fiery MP maintained that the move would keep heads of
state and those under them in check to prevent the looting of public resources.
"I believe that
it is something we should do as a country so that we confront the question of
state capture and corruption in this country head-on to inform our future as I
said. So that today President William Ruto or those working with him don't take
advantage of their position in government to advance private business interests
at the expense of public good," he said.
