Edwin Sifuna Sparks Debate After Revealing He Rejected Ksh1 Billion Bribe Offer
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has set social media ablaze after revealing that he once turned down a massive bribe worth approximately Ksh1 billion.
Speaking during a live interview with Citizen TV’s Yvonne Okwara, the vocal lawmaker addressed questions surrounding corruption and integrity among public officials in Kenya.
When directly asked whether he had ever been approached with a bribe in his political career, Sifuna did not hesitate to confirm that he had—and at a mind-boggling figure.
According to Sifuna, an unnamed individual offered him nearly Ksh1 billion to compromise his stance on a critical matter.
However, the lawmaker stated that he flatly rejected the offer, citing personal principles, integrity, and a commitment to serving a greater cause for the public.
