A dramatic moment was witnessed during the grilling of Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja who appeared before Senate's Finance and Budgeting Committee today.
The Governor was responding to the questions concerning the management of waste products in Nairobi County when Sakaja and other Senators, including Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka and Kakamega's Boni Khalwale were left fuming over his remarks.
It was after Governor Sakaja allegedly claimed that the Senators who were grilling him had conflict of interest that the three Senators were left angered, forcing the chairman of the Committee Ali Roba to quickly intervene.
Onyonka, Khalwale and Sifuna could be seen throwing their hands in the air in total disapproval as murmuring filled the room in total disapproval of the governor's remarks.
"Are you abusing the Senator over conflict of interest?", one of the Senator could be heard asking as murmuring filled the room.
Sifuna then swiftly pleaded with his colleagues to stop murmuring and let him air out their disapproval so that the chairman of the Committee could rule on the matter.
Speaking before the Committee, Sifuna expressed his disapproval of the Committee's chairman, claiming that the chair had not acted as required by the law to protect him from the allegations made by Governor Sakaja.
The Nairobi Senator said that the chairman's should have asked the Governor to speak what he knew over the accusations, adding that it is a special week that the Senators had decided that they want nothing but the truth.
"Let the truth come out, we the Senators are in the week of truth," Sifuna said.
However, Senator Ali Roba who was chairing the Committee did not relent in defending himself from the Senators, claiming that all he wanted was nothing but an orderly manner of expression at the grilling.
But, the angry Senators were not satisfied with his explanations, as Sifuna warned that they will not allow him to get away with how he had ruled on the matter.
"We will not allow you to get away with this. We will not allow you," an angry Sifuna said.
