Drama unfolded in the Senate after Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah and Speaker Amason Kingi engaged in a heated exchange over Omtatah’s demand for evidence to support claims of misuse of public funds. Tensions escalated when Kingi told Omtatah that he could not dictate how the House operates. In response, the senator insisted that, as a representative of taxpayers, he had a duty to "dictate" how public money is spent, adding that he would rather be ejected from the House than be part of what he described as a scam.

President Ruto has alleged that the Mediheal Hospital owner sought his personal intervention to stop the suspension of the facility over alleged kidney trafficking. Speaking at State House during a meeting with Bungoma clerics, Ruto said the government has shut down nearly 1,000 health facilities linked to malpractice and fraud.
