Wajir County Woman Representative Fatuma Gedi had a rough time before the Powers and Privileges Committee of the National Assembly over misuse of official information as a state officer to advance her interests. LETTERHowever, the matter turned against Ms Gedi after a parliamentary staff, Mr Hassan Noor, revealed to the committee that Ms Gedi coerced him into providing the confidential documents with members wondering what her real interest was. “Parliamentary investigations were undertaken and identified the member of staff, who said that the information was asked by Ms Gedi,” Mr Mwathi said in the presence of the four MPs who appeared before the committee to interrogate Ms Gedi. The accusations against Ms Gedi constitute offence under the Powers and Privileges Act, Leadership and Integrity Act and the Government Secrets Act. It is not the first time that the Wajir County MP is having a date with the committee.
