Thursday was to be the day that Moses Wetangula was to meet the Adan Keynan led committee. To answer to allegation that he is responsible for the diplomatic stand off between the UAE government and the Kenyan government.
Wetangula was also to shed light on a claim he made that a member of the committee attempted to extort funds from his ministry.
Wetangula was also to get explanation from the committee on claims that he attempted to obtain over 300 million Kenyan shillings from the royal family in Dubai. Perhaps he would also have repotted on the position taken by UAE regarding its degree requirement to Kenyan immigrants.
What started as a legal decision to deport members of the UAE royal family under unclear circumstances has now degenerated into a claims of corruption and attempted cover up.
So Thursday they met after the committee stated previous meetings had to be cancelled after Wetangula and his team failed to turn up. But even after Wetangula appeared in its own request the meeting could not take off. Sources privy to the meeting say Keynan told Wetangula the PC was not ready to hear his side of the story and no summons had been sent.
It is also alleged that Keynan did not approve of the presence of the media in the closed door meeting. And after close to 2 hours inside Continental house, Wetangula emerged from the meeting and without uttering a word to the media drove off.
Keynan never appeared from the meeting which definitely would have been a stormy one and tense.
The meeting has since been rescheduled to the third of June where the committee will grill Wetangula and the team from the Foreign Affairs Ministry. The purchase of the Kenyan ambassadors resident in Tokyo and the chancery would be a subject of focus.
Other issues will be the allegation that a PC member attempted to extort money from the ministry of foreign affairs in exchange for his silence.
Wetangula would also be seeking explanations that he attempted to extort money from the UAE royal family.
