It is relief for four members of parliament who were summoned for behind a fake sex tape of Wajir woman representative Fatuma Gedi after the Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti dismissed orders issued to them.
The four are: Eldas MP Aden Keynan, Abdihakim Mohamed of Fafi Constituency, Isiolo Woman Representative Rehema Jaldesa and her Kirinyaga counterpart Wangui Ngirici.
Kinoti said the orders were premature and uncalled for. He said there was no evidence so far to link the four to the said claims and therefore no need for them to show up as asked.
The legislators are accused of uttering defamatory statements that portrayed the MP in bad light following the circulation of the unverified video, which Ms. Gedi dismissed as fake.
A blogger Douglas Mbaya was last year arrested and arraigned in a Nairobi court for allegedly circulating the video.

Gedi was caught up in controversy in August after she was accused of bribing MPs to shoot down the sugar report.
