What appeared to be a normal summons to Kimilili Member of Parliament Didmus Baraza to appear before the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has now become a shouting match.

The MP dismissed the commission claiming his issue was only a debt that the EACC had no jurisdiction over.

EACC yesterday said it is not upon individuals who are under investigations to decide whether to appear or not but to honour the summon.
