On November 20, 2019, the National Assembly's Powers and Privilege Committee, led by Speaker Justin Muturi, reprimanded Wajir Woman Representative Fatuma Gedi for leaking confidential house communication to the media.
The committee found Gedi guilty of breaching the Leadership and Integrity Act after investigating a leaked sex tape that went viral on social media in December 2018.
The lawmakers who were allegedly involved in the sex tape included Aden Keynan (Eldas), Abdihakim Mohamed (Fafi), Rehema Jaldesa of Isiolo, and Kirinyaga Woman Representative Wangui Ngirici.
According to the committee's report, Gedi coerced a parliamentary officer, Noor Mohamed Adan, to give her a confidential letter from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss George Kinoti to the Clerk of the National Assembly Michael Sialai.
Part of the Committee's report reads, 'He (Noor) also averred that the member approached him in confidence and asked if he could locate the documents from DCI. The officer initially declined as he found it 'absurd, difficult and irregular' but he eventually handed the documents to the member reluctantly and repeatedly indicated that she intended to use them for parliamentary business.'
