The EACC, in a letter dated August 21, reminded the MP that this was the second time they had summoned him after he ignored an earlier request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Commission accords you a second opportunity to come and respond to the allegations of bribery made against you. To this end, you are required to appear at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission&#8217;s offices at Integrity Centre, Nairobi on August 27, 2024 at 9 am,&#8221; the letter from EACC read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Barasa has dismissed the matter, arguing that the issue is a civil dispute rather than a criminal case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is to bring to your attention that I will not honor the summons as this is purely an abuse of the mandate of the commission&#8230;I will instead send you a lawyer,\u201d Barasa wrote in a letter addressed to the EACC CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further explained that the original summons was related to his alleged failure to honor financial obligations. Barasa had previously informed the EACC that he would not comply, asserting, &#8220;The commission cannot be reduced into a debt collection agency.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barasa accused the EACC of shifting its narrative, stating that the commission has now rephrased the issue as a bribery investigation in an attempt to coerce him into payment. He clarified that the deposit of Sh2 million to his Cooperative Bank account was a soft loan from a politician who had unsuccessfully run for a gubernatorial seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is clear from the documents that were forwarded to the bank to facilitate the transfer clearly indicated [it was a] soft loan; you can peruse them. Why I haven\u2019t paid because of the dispute in the contractual conditions is none of your business,\u201d Barasa asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also mentioned that the matter had been reported to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Karen and was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, as it was deemed a civil matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the EACC&#8217;s repeated summons, Barasa remains steadfast in his refusal to appear before the commission, challenging its authority and the legitimacy of the accusations against him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI, Kenya Aug 27 \u2014 Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa has openly defied a summons from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), declaring that he will not appear in person at the commission\u2019s offices today.
