The renowned lawyer made his remarks on Friday, August 22, 2025, on his official X account while accusing the Kenyan lawmakers of only coming together when looting public funds and then scattering like cowards.
On his part, Willis Otieno revealed that parliamentarians are selfish, as they put their interests first before those of the people who elected them.
“Our MPs only unite when stealing. On service to the people, they scatter like cowards. Parliament today is a chamber of betrayal,” Willis said.
Likewise, Otieno went further to label the National Assembly as a cartel of self-serving elites, stating that Kenya’s Parliament is not a House of the People; instead, it is a cartel of the corrupt, protecting each other while auctioning the country.
“Kenya’s Parliament is not a House of the People. It is a cartel of the corrupt, protecting each other while auctioning the country,” Willis said.
Notably, his comments come amid mounting public outrage over corruption allegations and extortion claims involving MPs, which have sparked intense national debate on the role and credibility of the legislature.
Wetangula calls out MPs.
Willis’s remarks come amid a call-out to Members of Parliament by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, who has called on the Members of the National Assembly leadership to take a moment and reflect on the recent corruption allegations pointing at the National Assembly.
Wetangula, while asking the members to have a moment of reflection, urged the legislators to speak up freely on the reasons leading to recent extortion allegations made by the Head of State, William Ruto.
The Speaker called on the members on Thursday, August 21, 2025, during the 3rd National Assembly Leadership retreat held in Serena Hotel in Mombasa County.
“We must also have candid conversations on the challenges that lie ahead and see how best we can navigate to ensure service delivery to the people,” Wetangula said.
Likewise, the National Assembly boss called for a private ‘mundu ku mundu’ (one-on-one) session among MPs to openly share what may be influencing misconduct.
“Later in the day we must have a moment of facing each other, ‘Mundu ku mundu,’ which loosely translates to ‘one on one,’ to speak to one another about what challenges and what successes we have. Feel free to speak to us and tell us what makes us do the things that we ought not to do,” Wetangula said.
