Member of Parliament for Saboti Constituency Caleb Amisi has asserted that the arrest and charging of Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakango is nothing short of political persecution. Amisi contends that Nyakango, known for her role in combating corruption, is being targeted for her efforts to address deeply rooted corruption in both the central and county governments.
According to MP Amisi, celebrating strong and astute women leaders, such as Nyakango, should be the focus rather than intimidating them. He emphasizes the need for a Renaissance in Kenya, suggesting a call for renewal, transformation, and progress in the country’s leadership and governance.
The arrest of Nyakango, who holds a pivotal position in overseeing budgetary matters, has raised questions about the motivations behind the legal actions taken against her. Amisi’s stance reflects concerns within some quarters that the move may be politically motivated and an attempt to undermine individuals actively involved in anti-corruption efforts.
As the situation unfolds, it brings attention to the delicate balance between upholding the rule of law and avoiding the perception of political interference in the fight against corruption. The call for celebrating and supporting strong women leaders resonates with broader discussions about gender equality and the role of women in shaping the future of the nation.
