EACC Addresses Raiding Wetang’ula’s Residence
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has dismissed claims that it intends to raid the home of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
Viral posts on social media suggested that the anti-graft body was preparing to storm the Speaker’s residence. However, checks by Kenyans.co.ke confirm the reports are false.
EACC officials described the claims as misleading and without any factual basis.
“Ignore those reports. They are fake,” the Commission told this publication in a phone interview.
The false reports surfaced after President William Ruto warned that MPs and Senators accused of soliciting or receiving bribes would face arrest and prosecution.
Speaking on Monday during a Kenya Kwanza–ODM joint parliamentary meeting, the President strongly criticized legislators, particularly committee members, for allegedly demanding bribes to influence decisions.

The Head of State’s remarks triggered a standoff between Parliament and the Executive. On Tuesday, National Assembly committees boycotted sittings in protest, effectively grounding House business. Senate committees, however, proceeded with meetings but did so under protest.
