MPs from across the political divide Wednesday had heated exchanges over the arrest and prosecution of the Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o.

Tempers flared after leaders from the opposition accused the ruling Kenya Kwanza of trying to kick out Dr Nyakang'o, who was on Tuesday arraigned in a Mombasa court, owing to her firm stance against corruption.
