Nyamira Senator Kennedy Mong'are's plan to impeach President Uhuru Kenyatta has suffered a blow after members of parliament allied to Jubilee Party dismissed the plans.
Speaking on Monday, Starehe MP Maina Kamanda and his Dagoretti South counterpart, Dennis Waweru, rubbished the impeachment motion, accusing Mong'are of seeking cheap publicity and attempting to "waste Parliament's time."
"The senator is a joker and a day-dreamer. What has he done in the Senate to think he can remove the President?” posed Kamanda as quoted by the Nation.
“If you want to be president, seek votes,” he added, in reference to Mong'are's recent announcement to run for the presidency in the forthcoming general election.
“He is a desperate politician looking for publicity,” Waweru noted.
Senator Mong'are wants President Kenyatta to take responsibility over the loss of life by Kenyans orchestrated by the ongoing doctors' strike that has lasted for over one month.
