This is the second time the MP is being summoned after he failed to show up on August 14, 2024.

Mr Barasa was in 2020 charged with fraudulently obtaining Sh450,000 from one John Irungu Mwangi.

The anti-corruption watchdog has summoned Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa to respond to undisclosed claims of bribery.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), in a letter dated August 21, says “the transaction happened on December 13, 2023.”
