Confusion was witnessed in senate this morning after the father of the witness who cried yesterday in senate claiming Kisii Deputy Governor Robert Monda took a bribe for a job offer confirmed that no such thing happened.
According to the father of one Dennis Mokaya, the money that was given to Deputy Governor Robert Monda was Ksh. 500,000 and not Ksh. 800,000 as his son claimed.
Speaking on the purpose of the funds, the father said that it was a refund for money the father had borrowed from the Deputy Governor and not a bribe for a job offer as earlier claimed.

This contradicts his son’s earlier reports when he appeared before the senate to act as a witness in Robert Monda’s Impeachment Motion that was presented to senate by the Kisii MCAs.
According to the son, he and his father allegedly paid a bribe of Ksh 800,000 to the Deputy Governor to influence the outcome of a job interview at the Gusii Water and Sanitation Company Limited (GWASCO).
This narration was followed by the witness breaking down alleging that his family suffered immensely after completing the payment since his father, ostensibly sold business assets which was run by his wife in Ruai.
However, on Deputy Governor Robert Monda’s part, his story aligns with the parent’s story where they claim that Mokaya’s parents were repaying a loan that was owed to the DG and not a bribe as it was claimed by the son.
