Constitutional lawyer Kamotho Waiganjo has rubbished statements rendered by Moses Kuria in a bid to impeach the speaker of the national assembly.
He termed them as false promises and wastage of time.
Addressing the media on Tuesday, Kamotho told off the members of parliament led by Moses Kuria to cool down and drop down the idea to impeach the speaker."Sanctioning the speaker is no that easy. You need a very high threshold. I am not wrong two-thirds of the members of parliament. I am not sure whether Moses Kuria can raise the two-thirds number of parliament and send Muturi home," Kamotho said.Kamotho later called on Moses Kuria Gatundu south Mp to stop relying on myths and thresholds he can't meet. In regard, he challenged his influence in the national assembly which cannot meet the required numbers."Yes impeaching the speaker is very simple. You need to raise a motion to impeach the speaker for a cause by passing the vote of no confidence having a reason for what the speaker has done to bleach his responsibilities. Then you have to go to the floor to get a vote. The speaker is elected by two-thirds of the house so to remove him in the same house in this political environment you gonna not have the two-thirds vote to remove him." Kamotho added.Earlier in the week, the speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi claimed that the BBI never originated in the house and so they have no power to discuss it. He later challenged the report since it was not a Bill.
“If you look through the document, a lot of the proposals in there are really by way of policies; if it is about the implementation of standards and ethics, we already have the Ethics and Integrity Act. In fact, we should be asking why we have not implemented some of the areas the BBI report has highlighted because they are there in the Constitution,” he said as quoted by Capital news.
