Nyamira Senator Mong'are Okong'o suffered a political blow on Monday after Jubilee MPs dismissed his impeachment motion against President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Okong'o had earlier revealed that 10 MPs were willing to back his motion but on Monday he was told to stop 'demeaning the presidency.'
“Getting one lawmaker who is ready to waste Parliament’s time with such a motion is a tall order,” said Senate Majority Leader, Kithure Kindiki.
“He is just seeking publicity to enhance his misplaced presidential ambitions. Saying the President has not tried to resolve the doctors’ strike is a lie,” he added.
Starehe MP Maina Kamanda and his Dagoretti South counterpart Dennis Waweru also dismissed Mr Okong’o.
"The senator is a joker and a day dreamer. What has he done in the Senate to think he can remove the President?” asked Mr Kamanda.
Mr Waweru said Mr Okong’o’s campaign was futile.
“He is a desperate politician looking for publicity,” he said.
