Parliament may be forced to summon former Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Executive Officer Halakhe Waqo if he fails to show up before a committee that is investigating a billion-shilling scandal involving the supply of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Waqo had been scheduled to appear before the Public Investments Committee (PIC) yesterday to shed light on claims that he was a guarantor to a furniture supplies company that had won a Sh347 million tender to supply the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) with PPE. This is the second time he is calling the clerk to say he will not come. He needs to write a formal letter. If things go on like this, we will be forced to summon him,” said PIC chair Abdulswamad Nassir.
