Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has been criticising leaders he feels are not being honest with Kenyans.
On Friday, December 20, Kuria turned his attention to Siaya Senator James Orengo and his party leader Raila Odinga over the Kenya Ports Authority saga.
In a Facebook post, he alleged that Orengo was not actually representing KPA Managing Director Daniel Manduku, who was being charged over controversial tenders worth Ksh2.7 billion, but covering for his boss who allegedly benefited from some of the tenders.
"Dear SC Senator James Aggrey Bob Orengo. Exactly who is your real client at the Kenya Ports Authority? I don't believe in the conflict of interest theory.
"But I suspect Daniel Manduku is not your real client. Could it be that your real client is Rt Hon Raila Odinga and his family? Tuambie tu ukweli (Tell the truth) Jimmy. Nothing wrong with representing a client," Kuria shared on Facebook.
The MP's criticism came barely a week after Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji filed a case in court, to bar Orengo from representing Manduku over alleged conflict of interest.
Through Senior Assistant DPP Alexander Muteti, Haji claimed it was unacceptable for legislators to be allowed to represent people in court.
Orengo, on his part, claimed that there was a procedure for dealing with conflict of interest.
“Standing Orders take into consideration the provisions of the constitution. As it is, there is no complaint made to the Parliamentary Service Commission or the speaker that they have breached provisions of the constitution,” Orengo argued in court.
He stated that the DPP needed to file a substantive application to have the matter dealt with completely.
