National Assembly leadership have intensified criticism against President William Ruto's recent accusation that some parliamentary committees were soliciting bribes.

The Speaker of the House, Moses Wetangula, likened the claims to an old adage of hyena accusing its children of smelling like goats so that it can devour them.

He said attacks on parliament were mere allegations that are yet to be verified.  The Speaker said the attacks on the House from the president put parliament's integrity in doubt. "When the hyena wants to eat its children, it says they smell like goats......

We must be alert to what is said about us," said Wetangula during the MPs meeting in Mombasa.
