Embattled Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula on Tuesday evening allegedly survived an imminent Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission raid on one of his premises in Kitisuru after a call from ‘above’ ordered the EACC officials who had gotten into the home to vacate the premises.
Unconfirmed reports indicated that the team managed to recover a total of Ksh 33 Million stuffed in sacks before the operation was halted.
“The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has managed to recover Ksh 33 Million carefully swiped in sacks in the operation that lasted for more than one hour” Temima,an EACC official informed reporters.
Senator Moses Wetangula was on Tuesday spotted in Hong Kong with his nominated counterpart Isaac Mwaura.
Wetangula is yet to speak out over his alleged ties to the saga that has left tongues wagging with a picture of him in Hong Kong being the only interaction, albeit indirectly, with social media.
“With Sen Moses Wetangula representing the Senate ahead of the International Anti-corruption conference in Hong Kong China. We paid a courtesy call at the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong where Prof Yash Pal Ghai taught for 10 years,” Senator Mwaura posted on his social media pages alongside the photo of the two of them.
The last time Wetangula posted on social media was on May 17 in response to former Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale’s decision to defect from Ford Kenya party to Jubilee.
“My 1st deputy PL Dr Bonny Khalwale has made his democratic decision and choice to leave Ford Kenya. It is his constitutional right to associate with persons of his choice. Ford Kenya wishes him well in his new political trajectory. FK remains solid!!” the Ford Kenya party leader said.
Wetangula’s name hit the headlines four days ago after an audio conversation with an audibly angry businessman over an alleged gold consignment emerged.
