Former Finance minister Amos Kimunya wants two ministers and the Attorney-General to appear before the Cockar Commission to explain their role in the sale of Grand Regency Hotel.

The ministers, James Orengo (Lands) and Mutula Kilonzo (Metropolitan Development), Mr Kimunya's lawyer Prof Githu Muigai said had together with the AG, Mr Amos Wako made recommendations that the Kipipiri MP step aside to allow investigations on the controversial sale of the hotel.

They were members of a legal committee the lawyer explained, that sat and made a report, which came up with the recommendations.

He also said that even Members of Parliament,who led street demonstrations to put pressure on Mr Kimunya to step aside should also be summoned.

They are: Mr Ababu Namwamba (Bungalang'i) and Mr Bonface Khalwale (Ikolomani)

Others who participated in the street protests, Prof Muigai said include activists, Mr Haroun Ndubi and Ms Ann Njogu.

"We want all of them to come and provide evidence," he told the commission chairman Justice (rtd) Abdul Majid Cockar.

Out of all the 14 witnesses who have given evidence before the commission, Mr Kimunya has not been mentioned adversely.

At the same time, Justice Cockar revealed that his team will be seeking a mandate extension to complete its work. If the extension is granted, it will be for the second time.

The commission was appointed last month to inquire into the sale of the hotel, which was sold out to Libyan investors sparking public outcry.
